Pros

Quitting is the most positive thing you could do here other than not taking the job in the first place

Cons

This company is about as poor of a culture of a run organization as can be imagined. Examples: - Leadership laughs non stop about how poorly the company is - Leadership and everyone else have an on going joke of you didn’t quit by your first month then you are a veteran there - Leadership has been caught reading these reviews and laughing at them with not a care in the world - There are specific individuals in leadership position who everyone in the company fears yet no one respects . - You will be told that using profanity is the “Garda” way and you soon will be doing it - Taking lunches is frowned upon - Leaving before 5pm (even if you show up very early in mornings) is frowned upon - If you enjoy upper management talking behind your back then this place is for you - Be prepared to be micro managed - Go to any current employee and they would advise you from working here and most of them are also looking for other jobs - It’s a common occurrence for people to quit weekly and management does not seem to care The list can keep going on ..... just realize I am not an angry ex employee. I gladly left and just don’t want anyone else to make the same mistake.

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.
