Pros

They'll give you free training and then pay for your security guard license. They have a nice deal with DeVry so if they offer your degree, you can get it fairly cheap.

Cons

There seems to be no communication from site manager to site manager. Or from main office to hiring manager or site manager. I've gone into the office to pick up the uniforms that my hiring mgr told me to pick up. I was basically told I couldn't pick up a uniform and would have to speak with my mgr about getting an order put into the system (same day I was supposed to START my shift - was given the assignment the night before). Finally my manager came out and grabbed one but that's completely demonstrative of the amount of organization and communication going on. Not to mention my last post told me that my next would pay $12/hr - I was told $10 by my direct supervisor and was paid $9.50.. Considering I'm keeping an entire building secure overnight, one would think I'd get paid a bit better..
