Pros

Supervisor was great! shifts are very strict; If you do not get relieved, you must stay until the post gets relieved by the supervisor or any guard. Winter time is very difficult, because calling out in the middle of a storm, means that someone has to stay in the building.

Cons

There is terrible communication between management and employees. I personally believe that there was some gap in the upper chain of command, where control got lost. Pay is very low.

Pros

Decent pay for an entry level job. If you enjoy a quiet job where you can spend hours reading you would probably enjoy this.

Cons

Few opportunities, disorganized regional offices, regional offices are very very slow at responding to concerns and issues with local offices. Very boring and meaningless work.
