Pros

1. Get to meet a lot of different people, make friendships & connections. 2. Depending on the site, the work is easy. Patrolling, talking to people, filling out a daily log & other reports. 3. Better than working at a fast food place & will probably get paid more than minimum. 4. Not hard to advance.

Cons

1. When I first started working, the company was AlliedBarton & I loved working for my boss. He was understanding and fair. Since the merge with Universal my boss has been under a lot of stress, making his attitude unbearable. He has been really disrespectful towards me and has threatened my job and my co-workers jobs. 2. No raises, unless the client approves. 3. Since turnover is high in this industry, you may have to work over-time, may be a pro to some.

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
