      Pros

      First Coast Security is great at teaching new employees things that may happen at their site, what they may come in contact with on a daily basis and how to de-escalate situations that seem harsh. They do this all within the comforts of a great supervisor who in my case is First Aid Certified, CPR Certified and a former Airborne Ranger.

      Cons

      Some of their downsides could be a zero to lack of raises and or evaluations on how an employee exhibits their worth ethic.

      Pros

      The management team is on point Ms Ashley is a great listener she makes accommodations for you and she's a a go-to kind of person can go to her for anything that you have need of and she tries her best to fix whatever situation you find yourself in. And they do hire within they promote within so if you looking for a promotion this is the company they don't go outside before they ask they employees it's already there

      Cons

      I don't like not being able to utilize my phone when there's nothing to do but dry sit in the Cold office it's like a jail cell

      This means a great deal to read. It is wonderful to hear that you feel genuinely supported and listened to — that is exactly the kind of leadership we work to build. Promoting from within is a real commitment for us, so we are glad you have seen it firsthand. Your point about downtime is a fair one, and we understand it. Post policies are often set by our clients and their security requirements, but thank you for the feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for the work you do everyday!

      Pros

      Very high pay compared to other security roles in Central Florida.

      Cons

      3 month probationary. Might not hire you on unless you have law enforcement military experience or years of armed security work. Also won't receive a post until you bid for one, but seniority matters.

      Thank you for this, and for taking the time to share your experience. We are glad the pay reflects the value of the work — our officers earn it. You've also described our hiring and bidding process fairly: we set a high bar because our clients count on it, and seniority-based bidding rewards the people who've invested in us. We always appreciate feedback and thank you for the work you do!
