G4S Bank Protection Officer interview questions

I applied for the Bank Protection Officer at the Seattle Branch Office on 3/13/2017. After submitting the application, I received a phone call an hour later to schedule an interview; they scheduled me for the next day. The interview process was a great and not to hard approx. 20-30 mins; the staff were very friendly. I ended up getting hired that day. Pros: Good pay. Paid Training. Free uniform, except black boots. Lots of room to grow. Lots of overtime. Lots of good Training. Military leave. Paid Sick and Safety Time. 80 Hours of vacation time (After one year; 120 after two years). Benefits (Medical/Dental/Life) Cons: You have to pay for a $40 extensive background check upfront in the office. There is an after interview questionnaire about six pages and 25 hand write only questions. Non-union. Must have your own black boots. Drug test and fingerprinting not in house. No STD or LTD, vision, 401k. Other than that all went very smooth.

Applied online in the evening and received a call for an interview within the next day or two. Interview was kind of informal, I met with the manager who oversees the BPOs and we spoke about the position, hours, duties, etc.. During the interview I was extended a verbal conditional offer of employment and then was taken to meet with an HR representative to do some brief paperwork, make copies of certificates/ID, and signed a written conditional offer. I was then given a copy of my conditional offer and a sheet with my processing date and related information on it. (All the staff I came in contact with was very nice and professional, they answered all questions and made themselves available for any questions should they arise). Processing is straightforward, you do situational and psych testing, uniform fitting, and HR paperwork. It's a rather long day (approx 6 hours) and at the end you get paperwork for a physical and drug screening which must be completed before you start training. Overall the process isn't bad and I've been treated very fairly throughout the process so far. I haven't started working yet so I cannot comment on the job itself but I will in the future.
