Pros
It’s small- you know the administration and they know who you are. You can talk to any one of them at any time.
The owner and a lot of the chain of command are prior law enforcement- this means they know and WANT to help the employees get better should they move on to that career path.
You always have help- I’ve worked for a few security companies in the past but the answer was always “call the local police”. I’ve been on a post where I needed assistance and they show up in MINUTES. As an unarmed guard, I’m now more confident knowing that one of my other officers is not far away if I need help.
Hours- If you want hours, there’s opportunities.
Cons
Pay- It’s about average for security
Certifications- If you want to be armed, you have to pay for that out of pocket
Call outs- Fellow officers continue to call out.
