Pros

The only good thing about working at Securitas is that certain sites such as Manheim have potential to earn an average of 20+ hours of overtime, which can be seen as a potential advantage and opportunity to make more cash than expected.

Cons

Most of the working conditions are open to question. Overtime work seems mostly obligatory rather than a choice. Hard to request a consistent schedule. The office where I got hired at NEVER answers the phone. If you want to move up, it is possible but you must devise your own plan of success.

Pros

Stable employment with benefits. Co-workers are typically easy to deal with and friendly. Most managers are pretty reasonable. Work load is pretty standard, not a sweat shop by any means.

Cons

There seems to be very little chance for advancement for most employees, even for those who take the initiative to learn new skills on their own. If you stay for more then a few years your skill set definitely seems to stagnate. The raises for non-management do not seem to keep up with inflation.

Pros

Always willing to give you more hours and overtime. A very big company that provides solid benefits.

Cons

They don't hire enough supervisors. Of the supervisors they do that, they play favorites, and if you don't bend over backwards for them, they will leave you hanging.
