Pros

Overtime is readily available weekly.

Cons

Base pay starts at $34k per year, though they expect years of experience or a bachelor's degree. If security holds you up at the gate for 5mins or card reader goes down (happens often) you will be written up with no exceptions. You're expected to do overtime and if you can't due to family plans they will hold it against you. Management expects $30 per hour work and mentality for $16 an hour. 40 cent per hour yearly raises. If you call in sick one day they will write you up and hold it against you in performance reviews months later. They threaten with termination over the smallest issues that should be teachable moments and provide no actual instruction or help. All work is shared by different shifts but if you're the last person to touch a product, you get dinged if it's damaged. Even if it was damaged before you touched it, it doesn't matter, and they only write up the final person since they can't confirm who actually did it. Leading people to purposely mistime the final step near the end of their shift so the incoming shift gets bombarded and blamed for any issues. This did not change after several years and many complaints.

Pros

As a contractor you can enjoy high pay if you negotiate it with the approved Indian based (ok US based but Indian controlled) structure. The busines prospects also look promising. Assurity of Income due to Defense Industrial Complex. The willingness to set aside major plant operations and redirect security personel to protect Visiting VIP Cabinet Level Appointees so they can perform Security Theater (I would call it Political Messaging by current Government leaders in the Department of War since the scripted end product was released for public consumption.) This ability to successfully chase taxpayers dollars will serve the company well in the near future.

Cons

The need to have US Citizens work most of the positions is a security requirement. Yet the reality is that means very little when those US Citizens are scrutinized almost completely by entities in another country. An organization cited US Law about hiring decisions and then gave a Calcutta address to snail mail / contact if an adverse decision was used.
