      AVOID JACKSON TN BRANCH!!

      Unarmed security officer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great co-workers and Friendly clients over in Ripley TN

      Cons

      The Jackson TN branch laden with a lot of nepotism, favoritism and more backroom politics than congress. Lower management as well the majority of upper management are shady at best and treat you like you're inferior. They advertise as full time but you will only get 32hrs a week with most posts being $8.20hr starting at minimum wage for the first 30hrs of any post. Also if you choose to get your guard license through the company they WILL withhold your licensing information and lie to you by telling you that if you quit you cant work in security ever again.

      Easy job for low pay.

      Pros

      If your a student it's perfect for doing homework. Most sites are flexible with school schedules. The healthcare sites are the best. If your a flex officer you can get a lot of overtime if that's your thing. It's a job not a career. They will pay for your state of California guard card. I have seen people get hired on at certain accounts in entry level jobs if you do a good job and actually care. For example at Dignity Health I have seen officers get hired as patient transporters or in housekeeping if you can get in good for the right people. It's more based on who you know not what you know.

      Cons

      The pay is low. Most sites pay minimum wage unless it's a union site or a healthcare account. The benefits are horrible. No sick time or paid holidays at most sites. Some of the people at different sites treat the officers like second class citizens and show no respect. But most sites the people are cool and friendly and treat you equal. You will work with some people that think they are cops and act like it. Your job is too observe and report. Your not a law enforcement officer. Your a security guard act like it.

      Pros

      Easy, none. Free uniform, there's a reason its free, its terrible quality. You don't see branch manager

      Cons

      Too many to list. Branch manager and ops support are a joke. Rude, nasty, unhelpful and spiteful. Long hours, usually min of 60 per week. Minimum wage for max work. No loyalty to good staff. You will get used and abused then thrown to the side when they are done with you.
