Pros

Its a job in security

Cons

Pay is subject to be lowered ,incorrect, and slow to rectify. I actually had to involve the State labor board in a pay dispute and AU even lied to them. finally they had to pay me when I offered proof they could not dispute. Excuses are many for why pay is lowed to previous rates and reasons why it is incorrect. They are slow to pay if corrected at all in the Louisville ,Kentucky region. They already bid low and pay low to attract customers and then incorrectly pay officers. Recipe for turnover.

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.
