Pros

Overtime is usually very easy to come by. You aren't required to give two weeks notice to leave. You can find shifts 24 hours a day to accommodate your lifestyle. They let you come back if you part on good terms.

Cons

They treat guards like robots, not humans. It's a new protocol to write you up even if you have a doctor's letter from the hospital. Different sites require drastically different expectations. There is little to no training. There is zero communication between HQ and the guards. The health insurance isn't possible to afford on the hourly wages we make. There's supposed added perks and benefits and training but it's not freely given or accessible to advance ourselves.

Pros

Very kind staff and takes care of veterans. A lot of opportunities to get extra hours and shifts.

Cons

I suppose the only con is not a lot of overtime since high Table of Organization (T/O).

Pros

The only thing that I enjoyed while working here was the team that I had the privilege to work with. My employment was on a tech team which was a vendor with a larger Tech company. I was able to network and meet some amazing people that allowed myself to connect with others in the tech industry.

Cons

My experience with this company was extremely disappointing. I raised serious workplace concerns related to disability-related treatment, harassment, and overall employee support through internal reporting channels, but I did not feel those concerns were handled with the urgency, fairness, or accountability they deserved. The issues continued for a significant period of time, despite repeated attempts to report them properly. After I provided additional details that were requested as part of the internal reporting process, I was removed from my client assignment. In my opinion, the timing and handling of that decision felt retaliatory, especially because it happened after I raised concerns and participated in the company’s reporting process in good faith. I was initially told that another placement would be pursued, and there was communication for several weeks. However, I was ultimately separated from the company under a “Non-Placement Termination.” The experience left me feeling unsupported and gave me serious concerns about how employee complaints, workplace concerns, and follow-through are handled.
