Pros

Able to adjust your own schedule and delegate responsibilities.

Cons

Salary is very low for job descriptions and expectations. I travel at least 25% of the time. Regional support is little to none unless it effects the local office in a negative manner.

Pros

There are no pros at this company

Cons

There is no possibility to use earned vacation days. Why? The Site Coordinators and captains get paid a managers salary and an take an officers post (usually Mon - Fri w/ Sat and Sun off); therefore, earning two incomes. Then the SC or captain gets the G4S and the contracted site benefits, i.e.: days off. By, a manager (an exempt employee) taking up a non-exempt position, security officer position, it puts undue strain on the security staff, forcing overtime an extra duties that the SC/captain refuses to do while posing as a security officer. Thus the sites are perpetually short staffed.

A Really BAD Company.

Pros

Absolutely NONE !!! There are no good things to say !! They hire officers only that will except minimum wages to start. Then they use and promote without recognizing others with many years of service and knowledge. So if anyone likes that type of profesionalism than this is the job for you.

Cons

This is a Company that hires Managers from other fields and not from SECURITY. They have no clue about Security. They treat the OFFICERS who are the breadwinners like garbage and show no VALUE our respect for their officers. Perfect for the ones who strive on CHEAP !!
