Pros

The pay is not bad but it takes a while to move up the pay scale. The stat pay for working holidays is pretty good The coworkers are so amazing, there’s a great sense of teamwork and camaraderie There is a union but there’s so many issues that they’re overworked and struggle to deal with Garda The benefits and pension are good

Cons

Hope you like micromanaging! You’ll constantly have management and catsa watching your every move waiting for you to mess up. Plus catsa runs tests on you. The managers range from mostly incompetent to will sexually harass you. And HR is abysmal and only cares about protecting scummy managers If you pick up extra shifts they aren’t overtime The schedules are terrible Don’t expect to have weekends off for a few years You’ll either work early morning 2:30-4am starts or end late 7-11pm end times There are hardly any part time shifts and you’ll never get those as a new employee

Pros

The role provides the opportunity to meet a diverse range of people, oversee multiple sites, and stay active throughout the day. The constant movement and variety help keep the work engaging and dynamic.

Cons

Supervisors are often overwhelmed by the number of accounts they are responsible for managing. They are required to conduct site checks within specific timeframes, regardless of the distance between locations, which can be challenging and time-consuming. Additionally, staffing shortages and heavy workloads can force supervisors to cover posts themselves when no one on the roster is available or willing to take an assignment, preventing them from completing other critical responsibilities. The company appears to follow federal law only to the extent necessary to avoid legal repercussions. As a member of the military reserves, I have observed that legally mandated rest periods following military duty are not always adequately considered by management when scheduling employees. This can create unnecessary fatigue and make it more difficult to balance military obligations with civilian work responsibilities.
