Pros

Free time to work on home work or play my guitar while on the job. Good for a criminal law degree if your trying to become a cop but better to go through the military than here. If ex military you will start off with a higher pay than the rest and move up quickly in the company, especially if you are a former marine.

Cons

No advancement unless you have human relations degree to work in HQ or Corporate. No real advancement for non military. Could use better wages and balances wages throughout accounts for the most mental/physical demanding jobs.

Pros

Uniform is free. people there seem alright

Cons

It will cost you 150.00 dollars to get your non firearm security guard license. You will get very little info regarding your assignments so don't expect to be told you are going to working outside all night or day cause they won't tell you so you will be outside for 8 hours on your freezing feet. No one knows what is going on there. you make 9plus an hour but you will have to drive up to and maybe more then 30 miles for your assignments. insurance covers 1000.00$ a year then your on your own.
