Humiliating job

Security officer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked security at a shopping mall where I loved interacting with shoppers and mall walkers. I helping people and loved all the walking I could get in. During a typical 8 hour shift I walked 7 miles.

Cons

The director at my location belittled me because of my age and gender. He was reported to higher management but nothing was done to resolve the problem so I resigned and had a better paying job and with respect the next day.

Clients were great . Branch office was in complete disarray

Account manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working with the National accounts portfolio manager and other AM was a great experience we all worked well. The Client was very accommodating and easy to work with.

Cons

the branch office was a fiasco from my 1st day, the Interview process was a total mess. I only took the job because I knew the clients reputation and the Clients Regional VP called me directly to offer me the position. Also the "New hire orientation" is a complete joke. I got more insight from the tenure staff at my site. than anyone at the branch office had any clue about.

Management is a JOKE

Security officer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Every once in a while you will get a paycheck

Cons

You are treated more like a slave than an employee. For 10$ an hour they attract the bottom of the barrel for personnel. Middle management is corrupt and incompetent they try to use threats and intimidation to get you to work more hours ( the turnover is through the roof so sites are always shorthanded )
