Pros

Overtime pay, holiday pay, and paid vacation. Also, good benefits and very nice management staff.

Cons

No raises, unless you get rank, but to get rank, you have to kill yourself working. Most sites do not pay more than $8.50 per hour. Psychotic co-workers. The client at most sites treat officers really badly. You never know where you will end up due to contracts ending and changing.

Pros

Great pay when you get on perminate at a site, health benefits are ok.

Cons

Management don't answer emails or return phone calls when you are trying to resolve an important matter, they think they are untouchable when they get into the higher positions. Some supervisors are not equiped to work in a high position because either are to scared to loose a job or they don't have a backbone to stand on their own two feet and manage the people under them! They will throw you under the bus to make them look better! The co-workers think that the pay they get as a CPO is gold and they dissrespect each other just because they got officer of the year! Like their poo poo don't stink! They will tell the supervisor what to do, it is like to many cheifs and not enough indians! I went to help with sandy relief, NOT, securing banks was a better word, standing outside in the cold while the bank was open, some of the bank employees acted like they was better and couldn't talk to you! The G4S upper management put you into shabby none speaking english hotels while they put the office people in excellent hotels! At the end I had to speak up and threaten until I got what I wanted! Still waiting on money they owe me!!!
