This place is a joke...

Ambassador

Pros

Getting an opportunity to help people. No two days are ever the same. The starting pay is decent for a security job.

Cons

Everything else not in the Pros! If you want to work hard and NOT be rewarded, please apply! Management will do anything and everything to cover themselves even at the expense of getting the job as a team.

Pros

Got to work outside in the summer heat, removing tags, and clean up snow in the cold of winter.

Small water bottles provided by the company to keep us hydrated in the summer, about the only con worth mentioning.

Good pay, pretty cool company

Operations/office manager

Pros

It is a unique take on the hospitality industry for anyone looking to do something a little different than regular janitorial work. It also provides various working environments, and great networking opportunities. If you are someone who doesn't mind a hard days work, and working with the community then this a job you would enjoy. The company and upper management are pretty cool to work for, and at times it can be like running your own business.

Cons

Working in and with the elements, rain...cold snow. The company is still growing which can be a cool thing at times, upper management is open to hearing feedback. But they have also outgrown their corporate staff, and the only local support comes from your Regional VP, or if your lucky other accounts in your area.
