Basically, you are a donkey. You get no raises and the superiors are ur slave owners. They are too high up to even help.

Regular security officer

Business Outlook

Pros

If u get a good site, u can get paid to do nothg. The account manager never comes out to check on u. So go head, study for school, or get info on a new job elsewhere. Great for a stepping stone. Get in good with the contracted company, and they will offer u a job. Take it, and go forward.

Cons

No advancement, no raises and they pass the buck to each other when an issue arises. U will never leave on time, b cuz u have to wait on a relief. Pray to god, that they are dependable. Be aware of the top guy in charge over there. All of H.R left bcuz he's very difficult to work with. So stay away from the Philadelphia branch. Allied Barton will be a better place to start. Atleast u get raises there.

Pros

Management seemed to be nice and cared about my home situation and getting me all the training I could possible get. They worked with me around my scheduled and tried their hardest to get me a full-time job.

Cons

Once we couldn't work out a full time schedule, it was extremely hard to get in contact with them until I started getting notices of termination. They told me I wasn't fired, but I was being terminated which means they can hire me back as soon as they have an open position. I have yet to hear from them and I have been trying to contact them for a couple months. Places I have worked to fill in for officers have even requested me to work there full time but still nothing from my bosses.
