Pros

- Straight forward work (depending on security/protection experience) - Paid on time - Benefits

Cons

- Managers are less competent than expected - No training opportunities to expand protection skills - Convoluted on boarding process, I dealt with three people and all asked the same questions regarding my background/experience. Then had Client interviews which ultimately determined eligibility. - Unless you work only one site, the time management system is complicated and is not explained at all in the beginning. - On site training was not specific and haphazardly put together. You cannot expect someone to not make some mistakes when there is no formal process by which to learn basics.

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.
