Pros

$16 an hour for secure site access control. Money is decent considering the amount of effort is minimum. I just sat at a kiosk all day and checked employees and sometimes cargo into the site. It was just a contract, so if it works for you then it's a decent experience.

Cons

One kiosk had climate control, the other one didn't, so sometimes shifts were uncomfortable. Also, you're not allowed to have any entertainment (aka distractions), so expect to be bored out of your mind.

Pros

They were willing to hire me

Cons

Refused to pay enough to actually live. Functioned as hourly employees but were forced to work OT for free because of salaries. Anyone who wasn't a white man got extra rules and procedures and nitpicky grammar, etc thrown at them.
