      Pros

      The training given by the company is one of the best compared to other security companies. The pay is good but it all depends on which federal building you will be working in since all the building pay varies.

      Cons

      This job is not a career! There are really no benefits to this job. The cons, like all security jobs is your schedule. You will be working all kinds of different hours ranging from overnight, mid-day, or early in the morning.

      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!
