Pros

If you need up at a short staffed site ( seems to be just about every site) you will get your fair share of hours.

Cons

- You will get written up if you refuse to come in in on a scheduled day off. -You will be asked to push back vacation time you put in months in advance - You can tell the office you need officers for months and they won’t do a thing about it until the client threatens to end the contract - You will be harassed on days off or if you call off by upper management who will call you more over a dozen times in a 5 minute period. -You will be promised changes that never come -You will be run into the ground and will receive attitude if you push back even in the slightest -You will see a million different faces come and go because your site will be a revolving door of security officers getting hired and quitting. -You will be scheduled for a shift on your day off and only get 2 hours notice. - I could honestly go on but the truth is NOTHING will change. They don’t care about the officers. They only care about themselves.

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.
