Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good co-workers, good schedule

Cons

Communication is poor from our site to the Austin site, feels like you are walking on a bladed knife with no shoes on cause the contract can get retracted at anytime.

Good job for a student

Pros

It's an easy job, you walk around once an hour. Uniforms and training (to level 2) are provided. Management was nice.

Cons

No direct deposit. Uniforms are a cheap material and I found them to rip easily. If you are a Level 3 guard you do not get much of a raise over level 2, if they even have any positions for you (mostly patrol). Pay was based on jobs, and if you picked up a shift they didn't tell you how much it paid.
