Pros

There are no pros to working here

Cons

One of the most toxic work environments. Second shift supervisors at the Dublin location are incredibly unprofessional. They talk about guards behind their backs, lie about guards to other guards, and lie/withhold information from guards. If the supervisors like you, you end up in control room (regardless if you've only been there for a couple weeks). If they don't like you, they'll put you at some of the worst posts on the site. Parking here is a mess right now, and there are frequent OSHA violations occurring. They'll tell you that they are the best paying security company in Columbus- that is a lie. Don't be lured in by their sign on bonuses. The turn around rate for guards here is ridiculous. It may eventually get better if new supes are introduced, but this seems to be a common occurrence with all FCS locations.
