Business Outlook

Pros

Meet some really cool people

Cons

Managers will lie to get what they want. If you report male coworkers for sexual talk nothing will happen to them and managers will tell you to sit down, shut up, and stop gossiping. Management will also talk about you to other guards. The two ladies in the office will not do much to help especially if you need uniforms. The supervisors for the site I was on would either be on a power trip or say inappropriate things or both. You are just a body to them they don't care about you at all.
