Pros

If you need up at a short staffed site ( seems to be just about every site) you will get your fair share of hours.

Cons

- You will get written up if you refuse to come in in on a scheduled day off. -You will be asked to push back vacation time you put in months in advance - You can tell the office you need officers for months and they won’t do a thing about it until the client threatens to end the contract - You will be harassed on days off or if you call off by upper management who will call you more over a dozen times in a 5 minute period. -You will be promised changes that never come -You will be run into the ground and will receive attitude if you push back even in the slightest -You will see a million different faces come and go because your site will be a revolving door of security officers getting hired and quitting. -You will be scheduled for a shift on your day off and only get 2 hours notice. - I could honestly go on but the truth is NOTHING will change. They don’t care about the officers. They only care about themselves.

Humiliating job

Pros

I worked security at a shopping mall where I loved interacting with shoppers and mall walkers. I helping people and loved all the walking I could get in. During a typical 8 hour shift I walked 7 miles.

Cons

The director at my location belittled me because of my age and gender. He was reported to higher management but nothing was done to resolve the problem so I resigned and had a better paying job and with respect the next day.
