Pros

Easy hire Easy guard license Usually lots of off site overtime opportunities

Cons

Easy hire means you will have coworkers with lousy work ethics. Training is a complete joke. If an employee is on drugs, abandons, post Etc. They will still have a job Management has repeatedly said they just need “warm bodies. Lack of respect for officers. The squeaky wheel gets all of the grease at the expense of good officers They will try to get out of paying you OT with comp time

Pros

Easiest job I've ever had. Met interesting people.

Cons

Less than stellar management . The security industry isn't made of the best or the brightest, and this place is no exception. Most of my coworkers were either wannabe cops that thought they could do something high speed and be a real cop or they were really lazy.

Horrible job and company

Pros

None, nothing but garbage.

Cons

Training was short, as others have said but not thorough enough to cover everything you'll need to know, plus all training is out of date within 3 months, too many changes! Supervisors push out unrealistic work quotas for work areas they have never worked themselves! You have to work extra hours, unpaid, to keep up with quotas and, as someone said before, every case reopened by a reviewer, which will vary depending on every reviewer, takes extra time to resolve since they ask for some redicilious corrections! Further, the pay is garbage for where I live and I am on foot 95% of the time, so no milage reimbursement! Office workers get paid more to do less than this job! My advice, DO NOT DO THIS JOB OR JOIN THIS COMPANY!
