Pros

Good work/life balance, some opportunity for advancement. Compensation is fair for work environment, benefits packages are reasonable and affordable. Company makes an effort, though minimal, to train and prepare new supervisors for leadership roles.

Cons

Very disorganized work environment, every manager seems to be pulling in a different direction. Training staff is a joke, entire class days can be spent listening to someone tell stories about their past jobs and showing you videos they've found on YouTube. HR department ignores calls and emails from both supervisors requesting assistance with administrative or disciplinary issues, as well as employees needing help with payroll, benefits or workplace issues. High turnover of management and supervisory staff fosters a work environment where employees just try to keep their heads down and get by, never trying to step up or improve.

Pros

Not many come to mind. Everyone is very friendly. Branch manager and higher ups are pretty straight forward with you. Information is passed on in an efficient manner

Cons

Basically a glorified receptionist The pay is absolutely terrible, the Walmart and grocery stores in town pay at least $4-$6 more than Securitas starting out. Very stingy company barely any opportunity for overtime unless you like working 12-16 hour shifts on thanksgiving or Christmas Day. 2 days of on the job training and that’s it. Zero stimulation at all anyone with half a brain could do this
