Pros

-Decently paid for entry level security positions -Good location at the Thomson Reuters campus - It is nice to be paid every week instead of bi-weekly -Some co-workers are really fun to work with -Not a bad company to work for, can be frustrating at times but that's part of contract security

Cons

-Hours can be quite long, can grow from eight to sixteen quickly if people don't show up for work -Pay can take a little bit to be corrected -Raise? Thought I was due for one but never saw one. -Overtime can take up a lot of time away from family. -Certain co-workers get away with more then others -Not a lot of accountability -Drama has affected the work place when there is no need for any -Favoritism affects morale of the staff

Pros

-Great pay for an entry level position -Lots of time to study. -Lots of Over Time available *I personally think this is a great job. It can be boring and time consuming and there are some very long days on occasion (12-16 hours) but there is also a strong core group of people here that work together and help each other so that we don't all get burned out. I am glad to be working here and hope that we continue to grow.

Cons

-Lots of Overtime -High Turn Over Rate (They don't do the best at vetting new ppl so there's a lot of turnover) -Uniform Suit is uncomfortable (I bought my own black suit that looked similar. no one has complained.) *As far as Cons go, it's not much different from any job. There's going to be people on site that you don't like sometimes. That's just life. You can choose to be a part of the drama, or choose to be a worker. I've found personally, that if I treat my co workers and my expectations of management fairly, I get it in return. Like someone below said: "You get what you put in." But the opportunity is there. Ps: In this business, "showing up on time"=be 15 minutes early. The sooner you accept that, the easier this job gets.
