Pros

Got to do homework while going to school.

Cons

Advancement depends on if you are military even with a degree you will never be a site supervisor.Advancement comes to those who get on their knees and never get up. Constantly losing accounts Leadership is incompetent You will never get a pay raise untill you find a job with a different company

Pros

G4S has got some good line managers, positions are stable (even if it means being redeployed). There is flexibility to get added time off without pay if you're in a general role.

Cons

The company is quite set in its ways and there isn't too much scope for promotion. Management positions are heavily guarded, and intelligent people will have a hard time fitting in because they will be more intelligent than most people there.

Pros

They accepted me back after I returned from a deployment. Plenty of work location choices

Cons

The recruiter only wanted his idea of "combat arms" experience for CPO positions. Even after explaining my military job specialty to him, he still thought me inexperienced enough to carry a handgun. The corporate guys are not very pleasant to talk to. Dead-end job. Terrible pay.
