Pros

The only pro to working for GardaWorld is having a job but is it worth it when you know the cons?

Cons

Our trucks are pieced together. Trucks are not being repaired due to the fact of GW failing to pay the shops and nobody will work till the balance is paid. Our uniforms are dirty, the light blue color and grease from the trucks do not mix. We are unable to order uniforms because of the name change. The pay is extremely low for a job that is so physically demanding. We have long hours that vary in time and makes it difficult when you have a family. We are forced to rush through the day (although we do not for safety reasons) and then criticized about the time it took. If you have a family the insurance here will cost nearly half of your income. It's amazing insurance coverage but doubled during the health care reform. I feel horrible for the families here forced to conform to this. All of us 'low level' employees do our best, if we have an issue we do tell our branch manager and he does relay the information... But unfortunately the 'issue' is lost or ignored at the corporate level. All we want is to be heard with actions or a response. We are exhausted but continue to work for our families.

Pros

Always been treated great. They have shown me great respect. They've been there when I needed help. Pretty much since day one with them I have always had full time work.

Cons

It's a big company so sometimes it takes a bit longer to get stuff. Have had very few problems with them.

Pros

There are no good reasons to work for this organization. The leadership is totally out of touch and hasn't a clue as to how to run an operation. The only reason to accept a job for this company is if you have no other options and need the money. Then I would suggest using them until you find something better.

Cons

This company is heading for a meltdown as the customers begin to become fed up with the poor quality service this company provides.(if they are not already ). I have heard that more than 50% of their customer base is coming up for contract renewals in 2016. I suspect there will be a mass exodus.
