Business Outlook

Pros

If you are lucky to work at one of the high-paying sites, the wages are among the tops of any contracted security company. Most sites I have worked at, there is a great sense of community and family amongst the guards (and in many cases, their team leaders as well). That unfortunately does not happen between management and the guards. If you are looking to get into law enforcement, CBSA, corrections, etc, working in the hospital environments is one of the best suggestions I can give.

Cons

If you are at a site where leadership (management) is not well qualified to perform their jobs, they rely on fear of reprimands and firing to keep their staff in line. This will never lead to a motivated and effective work force. Paladin pays their guards drastically different wages depending on the site. You can be at one high-profile (and high-risk) site, and only be earning (approx.) $11-$12/hr, while work at other sites where you can be earning upwards of $14.50, for doing the same work. What motivation is there for a guard to work hard, when they know their own peers are earning more per hour for doing the same, or possibly less, work as they are?
