      Pros

      The company has fair compensation packages, but most of all there is real opportunity for advancement.

      Cons

      Lack of annual raises even though the company has had record earnings in the US business. In addition, the UK Group is way to involved with the US Operations.

      Pros

      Good local office and field teams. Predictable workload subject to the normal pace of construction/ engineering projects. Local management was good about being transparent and working with clients as a team rather than us vs them.

      Cons

      Felt somewhat disconnected with the rest of the corporation. Regional office was left to operate pretty much autonomously which leaves you wondering what is around the corner. I left because longer term career prospects were limited based on overlap of talent in a small office. The people are great, but work can be predictable.

      Pros

      They have contracts everywhere. They have different levels of security officers. The highest paying right now is the Altria contract at 13. an hour and your title is CPO because you either have prior military, law enforcement, sheriff, corrections experience or a degree. The other classifications are TSO and critical... officer ranges from 10.00-12.00.

      Cons

      They could do a little better with uniform issuance. The contracts are hourly and you do not get raises or bonuses. Within the first year if you take off for any reason you don't get paid. An officer has to switch with another officer in order to get paid. You work on weekends and evenings. They do not have a rotating schedule where an officer gets every other weekend off. You have to pay out of pocket for your certifications, yearly.
