Worked with some great people, when there wasn't a high turnover rate.

No room at all for advancement, even when promised. Rate of pay is much lower than any competitor. Very poor management at the regional and local levels.

Pros

The training given by the company is one of the best compared to other security companies. The pay is good but it all depends on which federal building you will be working in since all the building pay varies.

Cons

This job is not a career! There are really no benefits to this job. The cons, like all security jobs is your schedule. You will be working all kinds of different hours ranging from overnight, mid-day, or early in the morning.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company pays on par with other security companies. Uniforms are provided by the company minus shoes. Fair amout of hours for new employees

Cons

Terrible upper management. Then do not care at all about your family. There is no real training for their officers especially when it comes to armed officers, then take a state test that has zero job specific training and are tasked right away with carrying a loaded weapon. This company is a disgrace.
