Pros

There are no pros to this company

Cons

They do not care about their employees and allow the supervisors and managers to be disrespectful and terrible to lower level employees. I resigned very quickly due to the treatment I received and after I was gone was advised by numerous employees still working there that that management would speak poorly about me and even lied about the hostile situation that took place causing me to resign. I still have my resignation email stating what happened.

Be extremely wary of your attendance

Pros

Half way decent pay, depending on what post you get (Industry standard I guess), dedicated master seat on the schedule (If you're lucky enough to land a full time position), and they won't schedule you for a post you're not trained for.

Cons

They hire too many flex officers so they don't have to payout overtime (more flex officers = no open posts so they don't have to schedule anyone overtime), they give you ABSOLUTELY ZERO NOTICE if your attendance violations get you moved into a flex officer position (they won't terminate you until you hit 20 points, but will strip you of your master seat and stuff you in a pool of officers fighting for hours until your points expire), and dispatch is an absolute nightmare to deal with if you need anything fixed with your schedule.

Pros

It's like any other high-temperature security company. You get what you put into it. You do well, and you'll likely move up the ladder quickly; the pay is also great.

Cons

You move around a lot, and the schedule never stays the same. So it's hard to plan a life outside of Intercon.
