Pros

Always looking for people to fill position. Jobs are available and hired quick to fill a spot. Fast training to get you out of the office and on the job site.

Cons

Constant changeover of employees at job site. No longevity. Not a career position. No sick time. No vacation. When training at the job site you are paid at minimum wage and not the rate if you worked the position. If you need to call in sick you have to be dead. Literally happened. Electronic employee handbook. Not easy to find. If you need to take time off for family you cannot take leave of absence with a month and half notice. You basically have to quit. You are replaceable. No chance for advancement. Was an Armed/Unarmed Security Officer for another company in another state. When told management I would like to earn Armed Security officer license for company was told it wont earn you more money than what the pay rate for the location I was assigned. However, waiting in employee lobby of new hires constantly see other handlers to other employees, "here call this guy he will help you get your level III." No positive reinforcement. Willing to write you up to protect contract of job site.

Pros

Some of the people you meet are cool and you make real good connections with the professional guards (not a lot, but i got lucky)

Cons

*Management doesn't answer their phones *Management don't want to help you address the issues onsite unless the manager of that site has an issue. *Rude and non responsive office. *Operations managers and client managers are useless. (Their assistants do a better job than they do) *The guards are not the priority to management and the company. Very childish and hostile environment. *A lack of structure, communication and support.
