Pros

The only "pros" I can think of are the people around me. Not necessarily my coworkers, but the people that work inside of the plant I work at. Transfer opportunities throughout the U.S.

Cons

No raises. VERY LITTLE room for advancement. Upper management are worthless. High turnover rate. 401k is a complete joke. Their pay is a joke for the headache and stress. They weasel their way out of paying you anything you're actually owed. They don't pay actual 1.5x for holiday pay,they use clauses and loopholes to avoid paying what you actually worked. Upper management and employers look down on officers like they're scum of the earth.

Pros

Easy work decent pay good people to work with. I realy liked the feeling your job was making others safer. It gives you alittle extra drive especially when you get to help in an emergency

Cons

If the contract your working has lay offs g4s cant do anything about it. I was working the GM plant in TN when i got layed off but you dont qualify for unemployment because g4s offers to transfer you an hour away. Its not doable making what they offer

Everything, this company treat their employees like dogs! Standing outside in sub below zero weather? In all weather conditions! You would be better off on a leash in your own backyard. Management is a joke!
