Pros

Paladin offers higher than average compensation with limited benefits. They have created a solid training program for their physical security staff. They are advocates and donors towards the fight against cancer.

Cons

High turnover and lack of loyalty contrary to the "culture" being sold as a benefit. Over promise, under deliver in terms of performance vs compensation. Constant misleading promises Senior Management (Ted Reid) NOT TRUSTWORTHY

Pros

In truth, I love my job. I love the interactions I have with various staff, patients and visitors. (Currently in health care). I go to and leave work typically in a good mood, and if not, at least satisfied. The good though seems to come almost exclusively from external sources. Not from the company itself. In point form the pros are... - Steady work schedule. - Typically quick response from our Ops center. - No shortage of shifts ... Which also becomes a con. - Paid training. - Assisting in getting security license. There could be more I am not able to think of at this moment.

Cons

The wage I am currently making is not livable. I joined this company as a stepping stone in my career path, and in truth have to stick it out until I can take the next step. However, the only way I currently even exist is by the good will of friends and family. If I miss a day of work for any reason, it's catastrophic. For the point format. - Smoke blowing. Shown a chance for advancement, then simply disregarded. In an attempt to keep me interested. - Borderline harassment level of phone calls to take extra shifts, even if just getting off a shift. - If a shift cannot be taken by staff, then guilt tripping and other manipulations to attempt to coerce a change in decision. quote " Well another officer is doing 7-12's in a row." As a direct comparison. As if I don't do enough because I am unable to make up for another guard. - Denied any form of pay wage increase to maintain "Paladins bottom line". Heavens know they can't sacrifice a dollar or two an hour... ever. - No amount of reasoning is good enough to not make up for another officers shift. Dying family included. - Honestly. I feel like a gap fill. So long as I am at my post, that's all they care about. Not the fact that I constantly try to go above and beyond our company standards. That I maintain good and professional relations with other staff. That because I can't take every single missing shift onto myself that I am not remotely appreciated for the things I do exceptionally well.
