Pros

You will always have shifts to work and if you are a union member then even better for you. They have benefits which is good and they have lots of buildings you can easily cover shifts

Cons

The management should be more considerate on their workers . The account managers try as much as they can to avoid you taking vactions. They will prefer you overwork yourself and they pay you the money. They will do everything possible to avoid you having overtime especially as a full time worker. This makes them to deny people vacation time because they try not to pay overtime to cover for vacation.

Pros

Some of the people you meet are cool and you make real good connections with the professional guards (not a lot, but i got lucky)

Cons

*Management doesn't answer their phones *Management don't want to help you address the issues onsite unless the manager of that site has an issue. *Rude and non responsive office. *Operations managers and client managers are useless. (Their assistants do a better job than they do) *The guards are not the priority to management and the company. Very childish and hostile environment. *A lack of structure, communication and support.
