Pros

Get to work a job

Cons

I had an employer who sent me to sites and multiple people were quitting including myself because of poor work conditions, poor pay compared to rival companies. At this one location we were understaffed and they refused to send any additional officers since it costed more, they basically told us suck it up and work harder. 2 officers had to cover 4-5 Buildings and the exterior plus each building had 20-30 floors were we had to go up and down building to building individual floors racing to other buildings in order to help the residents in need meanwhile also securing garages which there were 3 of that had 5 floors of cars. It was an awful experince people were just worked to the brink of collapse and were taken advantage of when someone quit instead of getting a replacement we had to go 7 days a week no days off just to recover from someone quitting until the whole team had decided to quit. This company only cares about money and is really bad at caring for the employees life. I worked so much I almost crashed my car getting home from work due to working 7 days a week 12 hour shifts even though I told my manager that it was too much for me he kept me doing it until i decided to quit due to mistreatment. The only reason why I kept the job for so long was because I needed the money but I finally quit after it was destroying my mental state. The location was in Miami, florida and thats why people quit often.

Pros

They will higher you if you have a heart beat.

Cons

Your heart beat is really all they want. Ever day at least half the crew will be forced to stay for a double shift but then still expect you to be there for your next official shift making it a triple shift with a small small break in the middle. Guards will be forced to look awake while actually sleeping against the wall because how else will you manage? If a supervisors sees you, you will be fired for what is essentially something they did. You can avoid this by comming early and not being one of t last people walking through the door but by early I meens hours early without pay because everyone will be doing the same thing in order to not be held over. Also the company tried to get you to do free labor at ever turn which adds up over time. 1) When you go on break remember to dock your walky on a charger. (Which meens your going to loose about 5 to 10 min of your break dropping of an receiving your walky.) 2) When you go to lunch tell the guard outside to switch with Charley. (Again another 10 min detour.) 3) Wait in the lobby till your relieved (10-30 min after your shift was supposed to have ended and they still mark you down as having left at your regular scedualed time.)
