Pros

At this moment in time I can't think of a single one!

Cons

Sadly staff that are compliant with processes and practices are often sold down the river if a client decides they no longer want that particular individual working on a site. Even if the employee has done nothing wrong.

Pros

I was loaded with 35 construction sites check for violations plus a patrol phone guests/owners calling problems usually house alarms or can't get into gates! Patrol 4properties for parking issues, pool issues, theft and open a construction gate ridiculous needed more than one officer to do that much work.

Cons

Two nasty supervisors who actually shouted at you on radio and phone! You can quit or you can keep getting a paycheck. Owners complain about stupid things like somebody trimmed my palm tree boo hooo. Men mgmt boys club no advancement.

Pros

If you like working all the overtime you are legally allowed to work than this is the job for you!

Cons

The pay is not the greatest. I work OT all week long and end up with 100 hours on a pay period and get 900$. Its not worth it. There is no career here. You will be asked to stay and work overtime 20 minutes before the end of your shift, and then relief for you will never show up and you are then stuck working a 16 hour shift.
