Pros

Stable paycheck Management treated better then regular employees

Cons

Poor treatment of employees. No raises in years. Benefit costs are high. Employee's are asked to travel to help other sites but it takes months for reimbursement of expenses. Different sets of HR rules for new and original employees. Vendors refuse to service Garda due to bills not paid on time leaving sites short of essential supplies such as paper. Poor communication from top to bottom. Almost impossible to get answers from HR, Payroll, Benefits, and upper management.

Good training. Not too demanding in the learning curve.

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.
