Avoid at All Cost

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay was similar or above average for the area.

Cons

Avoid them like the plague. They will look for any excuse to do what is called “top grading” even if you do not give them a reason they will find one. They will also micromanage you, not train you in the slightest bit (back to the top grading thing) and oh did I mention that all of their scheduling happens off site in a facility in Mexico (California?) where they frantically call at ALL hours to try to force you into a shift and threaten repercussions if you don’t agree to what they are asking? If you do decide to work here just block them, call your actual management if you want extra hours. Crap company, crap management. Oh did I mention they want any excuse to “top grade” (this is step one to firing you for any reason) I write this as I current work for them and under no threat of firing, just threat of quitting.

Pros

There are no Pros to this company

Cons

If you live in Tennessee Stay Away from this security company. They are out in California. They mess up everyone’s schedule. They operate on a point system. When you first start they hire you at full time then you drop down to 30 hours or less based on how many points you have lost. The pay is good. But only if you work 40 or more hours. They take away shifts and give them to supervisors with out even a notice.

Contract compliance takes a backseat to appearance

Business Outlook

Pros

Gained meaningful experience handling large-scale training and compliance initiatives under pressure. Worked closely with Amazon’s systems and standards, which provided valuable insight into corporate compliance expectations. The select staff were hardworking and deserved far better leadership and support.

Cons

Leadership often prioritized looking compliant over being compliant. When issues were flagged, the focus was more on controlling perception than addressing root causes. Efforts to improve processes or report accurately were frequently dismissed, ignored, or penalized. Requests for support or clarification routinely went unanswered or were shut down, leaving trainers to carry unreasonable workloads with little guidance. Decisions were made without input from those doing the work, yet trainers were held accountable for outcomes they had no authority to control. Concerns about fairness, safety, and accuracy were not taken seriously, and high turnover in the role reflects deeper structural dysfunction. Human resources were run by a remote support team which was largely unavailable or unresponsive, including the compliance investigation team. Calls concerning sexual harassment and unethical practices were not returned for investigation.
