Dangerous site with no management support

Pros

A lot of overtime security team (excluding management) usually sticks together Clinical staff were more than amazing and supportive will be promoted to shift supervisor fast because of understaffing Great experience for policing at certain sites

Cons

No management support Extremely poor pay compared to the level of danger on site (literally dealt with people on a daily basis multiple times with knives, shanks, bear sprays etc and occasional fake guns) Maximal level of unnecessary politics and diplomacy Toxic work environment Due to the diplomacy, we weren't even given proper safety equipment. Not even a pair of handcuffs (VPD officers have told us that we need handcuffs in this site) Favoritism being played more often than not Always understaffed

Pros

All I can say is that I had a job and a paycheck even though it wasn't much. Was there for 2 years.

Cons

The management needs to seriously get their act together. They do not take care of their security officers, as on making sure they are safe. The pay rate is very low for the amount of work expected. I do not feel confident for the future of this company.
