Pros

The initial interview conversations were positive. Company culture statements show strong values and career growth potential.

Cons

I went through the full hiring process with the organization and was extended a formal offer with a confirmed start date. I completed the background screening and drug test promptly and communicated a pre-scheduled graduation commitment during the interview process, which was acknowledged at the time. Two days before my scheduled start date, the offer was rescinded due to the same date that had already been disclosed and confirmed. The communication leading up to the rescind was delayed, and there was no proactive discussion or attempt to problem-solve. This was disappointing, especially after completing all onboarding steps in good faith. I am sharing this experience to help candidates be aware and to encourage clearer internal coordination and communication between hiring managers and recruiting. A strong “people-first” culture includes consistency, transparency, and follow-through during the hiring and onboarding phases — and I hope this feedback is helpful for continuous improvement. Lack of communication between recruiting and hiring leadership. Offer was rescinded after onboarding steps were completed. Candidate expectations were not aligned internally.

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.
