Pros

It’s a pay check on Friday

Cons

I have been there for 6 months and the turn over rate is insane. They have lied to people to get them to take the job. Once they start and find out about the lie, they quit. When I took the job, they were so shorthanded, I was rushed through training. A couple of times I was asked to do something and I said nobody showed me how to do it. Even after retraining they still didn’t go over everything. Scheduling is insane. A couple of beauties were. I was told to come in at 4am and work till 7am. Another time I had to work a double and got off at 11pm and had to be back at 7am the next day. When you go in at first to sign all these documents. One they slip in is if your replacement doesn’t show up then you will have to work at least 4 more hours.

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.
