Pros

Security officers got paid to surf the net and do small tours of the buildings with little instruction from the client.

Cons

The security officers had is pretty easy, but my position as account manager was under payed, overworked, and based on cover your mistakes and don't let the client know much about our operations. I was paid $13/hr to run security for a multi-billion dollar bio-pharm company. Security officers barely made $10 an hour. No training, hid things from client and the FDA.

Not the best.

Pros

Steady schedule and works around school schedule for those who are going to school. Also there is a wide variety of posts that are available. Easy money!

Cons

Poor training and lack of communication on management's part. Every time I called the main officer to talk to my scheduling manager I never was able to get in touch with her. Also was told several times to basically just show up to sites with little instruction on what to do. Basically had to wing it. Low pay and limited hours.

Pros

this is such a late company that you can transfer to any city in the country if you need to move.

Cons

supervisors and managers don't care about the safety or comfort of the guards. they don't allow any personal protective equipment and they don't provide rain gear of cold rather gear swept a jacket that is too thin for anything under 55.
