Pros

Easy and laid back job, has basic benefits including 401k after 6 months of employment. The starting pay ranges from $19-24 an hour depending on years of experience or have armed guard card you get paid more. Overall it's alrite lays the bills but not a career for a person in your 30s, just perfect for any younger person in their early 20s or retiree.

Cons

Low pay, recruiters are all over the place, miscommunication within the company, lazy co workers who call in a lot of are always removed from a site due to unprofessionalism or not making the client happy and potentially losing a client. Just a job nothing too special about working for this company, would choose any other security company.

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.
