Pros

Steady work. Regular hours usually.

Cons

Was hired for 10.00 hour with 11 years previous security experience including 5 as a shift supervisor. Taken only due to desperation.Actually did supervise and respond as a senior officer on a regular basis on the work site with no interest in actually paying me for it. Was moved to a new location and pay dropped to 9.79 an hour. Branch refused to find me any higher paying contracts and I was told that anything better "Was not for me". Went outside my branch to another branch looking for a transfer and was screamed at for talking to another regional manager by my own. I am not a boat rocker but my branch had me at the end of the line. Found a new job and quit. Never got my Guard card I paid for either after over a year of waiting.

Pros

The only thing that I enjoyed while working here was the team that I had the privilege to work with. My employment was on a tech team which was a vendor with a larger Tech company. I was able to network and meet some amazing people that allowed myself to connect with others in the tech industry.

Cons

My experience with this company was extremely disappointing. I raised serious workplace concerns related to disability-related treatment, harassment, and overall employee support through internal reporting channels, but I did not feel those concerns were handled with the urgency, fairness, or accountability they deserved. The issues continued for a significant period of time, despite repeated attempts to report them properly. After I provided additional details that were requested as part of the internal reporting process, I was removed from my client assignment. In my opinion, the timing and handling of that decision felt retaliatory, especially because it happened after I raised concerns and participated in the company’s reporting process in good faith. I was initially told that another placement would be pursued, and there was communication for several weeks. However, I was ultimately separated from the company under a “Non-Placement Termination.” The experience left me feeling unsupported and gave me serious concerns about how employee complaints, workplace concerns, and follow-through are handled.
