Pros

One Pro to working at Garda would be the your co-workers. They are the ones to make the day go smoothly. The starting pay is also decent for those of you looking for more than just minimum wage.

Cons

The amount of time you have to put into work is something I would consider a Con here. If you are looking to work more than your 40 hours then Garda is for you. You will more than likely be working no less than 45 hours a week, although it really depend on how you and your partner work together getting through the route, sometimes it does come down to how management distributes the stops. Another Con for me is the staff, they seem to look out for themselves instead of the employees.

Pros

Good training. Not too demanding in the learning curve.

Cons

Not a whole lot of work where I live. Working out of town 1 day a week part-time with a long commute.

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.
