Pros

This Job pays $11.50\hour for Construction post and $12.50\hour for Core post. $15\hour for Control room operator and $16\hour for a shift supervisor. Only the Control room operator has to do a lot of work. These are set in stone. No raises.

Cons

Security guards are at the bottom of the pecking order and they will never let you forget it. You will be disrespected on an almost daily bases. Management is very lazy. They won't do any work they don't absolutely have to do themselves, they will just make there subordinates do as much of there work as possible so they can sit in the control room or the the patrol vehicle and play with their phone all day. Security guards on the other hand are forbidden to have their phones on the site. This place is a very strict high security site. Security guards are the only people expected to leave their phones in their car, even in winter. If your caught on site with your phone, even if its turned off, you could be fired. Door alarms are a common event and if you cause an alarm you get a write up. Everyone, including Security Guards are put through metal detectors, wanded and searched multiple times a day. Many guards come to place with enthusiasm but after awhile of being disrespected and not appreciated they give up trying and start looking for a new job.
