Pros

-get paid about 11.70 starting out -If you want long hours, you got it -People you work with are awesome, mostly hispanic and black people so you may feel a little left out, but they are amazing, fun, and GREAT people to talk to, shame to never see them again -When talking to management, they are nice, and do take what you say into consideration -they pay for your guard card certification classes -401K

Cons

Oh here we go..... -The armored trucks are crap, most of them have very bad AC -to get a truck/van fixed, it takes forever and the problem will still exist -The armored vans have HORRIBLE side mirrors. Most of the time you are going to have to slowly and blindly move over into other lanes of traffic -the steering is almost always off on the vehicles, and no one will change it -get ready to have people blaring and honking their horns at you ALL DAY if youre in the van -They don't pay you for your gear or give you and gear to wear -VERY long hours, and if you lived a while away like I did, the extra money won't mean a thing -If you ever try to get a hold of dispatch, or management from the phone line, get ready to never talk to anyone, so if you're ever under fire, no need calling your management -Jobs: Either be stuck up font, driving all day tired as hell and forcing yourself to stay awake, or in the back, crammed and in a little seat, feeling every single bump in the road, intensified -My last day of working, I worked 15 hours straight, and they didn't tell me that I was going to be taking another shift after mine was done

Pros

They had good pay each hour

Cons

Absolutely worst place I’ve ever worked. Spent 5 years for nothing. Management even called corporate saying I went to another security agency when I had walking pneumonia.
