Pros

pays a little better than most other security guard companies in area. like most low paying jobs would not be able to support a family on it. maybe a single person. Benefits a little better than two previous security guard companies I worked for. That's if you take them. Seem not quick to fire officers for screwing up. At least at the local level.

Cons

constantly changing work schedule. sometimes as many half a dozen versions before final version. made to work 12 hour shifts even if you don't want it. Though some of my coworkers do like 12 hour shifts. Change days off without consulting you.

Pros

Overtime pay, holiday pay, vacation pay, decent benefits, some opportunity for growth, positions always available, gear provided for weather conditions.

Cons

Management does not enforce hygiene rules, tardiness rules, uniform rules, drug use rules, etc. There are some people that don't show up or call, don't bother to call to let people know that they will be late. There are people that have hygiene issues and when they sit in chairs, their body odor sticks to them. There are people that show up for work looking extremely sloppy, not well-groomed, wearing part of their uniform, etc. There are some that use drugs while on duty and have emotional break downs. I have had more issues with co-workers than I have with dealing with the public, client, etc.

Pros

Higher pay than the security officers, school work & other activities can be done in 3rd shift

Cons

pay isn't the best, moving up within company isn't too bright
