Pros

Family oriented, team spirt and support takes me back to my military and law enforcement experience, which I'm very fond of and need as I continue my service. I really enjoy the challenges we solve as a team, as well as the rewards we share for our hard work. I'm overall proud to be a part of the GardaWorld family and will continue to add to my own personal legacy.

Cons

There are days that feel somewhat daunting, and longer than expected, however I've accepted more responsibility and a salary so far as complaints go it's dependent on my own attitude.

Pros

I have nothing positive to say.

Cons

They brag about having an uncapped PTO policy for the office and then complain when you use it too often, they don’t ever want to pay overtime but keep piling on the work and new accounts until you all but mentally break. I was terminated over supposedly using the company card to pay my personal bills but they refused to provide me actual physical proof that I am the one who made the charges. Just said they knew it HAD to be me. Yet my insurance was not active and I did not have cable with the company they accused me of paying the bill for. They regularly terminate officers just because they don’t like them or they are hard to deal with and then they blame it on the client and act like they HAVE to terminate the employee. So many managers refuse to follow ADA accommodation processes because office leadership doesn’t require them to do so. If you aren’t a member of the “good ole boys club” you’ll never get promoted or succeed here. If you have a disability, they will ask you to get paperwork for it and then gossip about it all over the branch office like it’s everyone’s business. If they don’t like you, you’ll be made fun of and mocked. They will pretend to like you to your face and then stab you in the back and not think twice about it. Hands down the most TOXIC PLACE I have ever worked.

Pros

A great thing about this company is they allow you to pick what shifts and days they have available to you, which really opens it up for some people topick up extra whenever they choose to or not. It is really about the freedom of choice here, so if you choose something and end up not liking it on down the road, then there is the freedom once again to change it up. Another good thing about this company is the people. You get to meet a lot of different people from a lot of different walks of life, which also really drives home their diversity standards.

Cons

One not so great thing about the company is that it is a security company, so you have an always revolving door of people coming in and going out. Another nonplus for this company is the lack of promoting within. If you are gung-ho about the security business and are looking for a place to move up quickly this one is not it, for the simple fact that the way this industry works is that you are hired in this business to show up and do a specific job, and that is what they count on you for.
