Pros

Overall a good company to work for but there is a bit of a cost for working for them. Good supervisors and management on site.

Cons

You only get paid for 1 hour of training even when you are trained for 2 days. You also have to take a slew of tests to earn your PERC card and 20 hour training certificate. (The tests and training didn't even take 20 hrs so I don't know why they call it a 20 hour training certificate). Also you are required to purchase your uniform with half of your first several pay checks! Then on top of that if you get sent to a Union worksite, you have to pay Union dues and a Union application fee. So basically for the first several weeks you don't make much money because you are already only making about $10/hr.

Pros

I'm on zero contract, which means I'm flexible with the working shift pattern. Difereny kind of jobs, from events and stadiums to corporate and covering retail.

Cons

I'm happy with the coleags. Most of them are nice chaps and the SPV's are friendly and reasonable.
