Pros

GDBA has worked hard to create a very strong internal culture that any hard working individual would find is extremely rewarding. As an employee, your leadership will push you to high standards, but they will also practice what they preach. You'll be entering an environment of constant improvement and evolution, and you will have the opportunity to participate in that on day one. Finally, you will be given endless opportunities to progress your knowledge and skill sets. Always say yes and good things will come! I cannot recommend this company enough, whether it be the internal culture, the commitment to 100% success with it's clients, or the pride you feel for representing the mission.

Cons

Any cons I would mention about work schedules or pay can be easily remedied by the fact that GDBA leadership is willing and happy to adjust there policies for each individual if they simply ask. The leaders here truly care.

Pros

Workplace culture - GDBA does a phenomenal job at recruiting exceptional individuals. Which creates a positive and motivated atmosphere. Everyone you will meet is not only professional but personable as well. In my opinion the hardest part of the job is managing your work life balance. If you are not a planner or have structure to your life you would find working at GDBA difficult, however those with structure and who are good about planning their lives will find it much easier working at GDBA. A typical workday - can vary drastically. It is completely dependent on what you want to do within GDBA and how much you want to work. GDBA always ensure you will hit 40hrs, unless you choose to work less. You could work 5 x 8hr days or you could be jammed packed. It is up to your situation and what you're willing/capable of doing. What I believe I have learned is how to deal with people and getting what you want. The biggest piece of advice I would have is the answer will always be no to a question that is never asked. The way you word an email/ text, or the way you speak to people will either open doors for you or close them very fast.

Cons

Getting a job at Gavin de Becker & Associates, can be difficult. You need to be an exceptional individual; however a lot of peoples misunderstanding is that you need to be prior military, police, or security. This is false, Gavin de Becker & Associates finds value in those who come from different backgrounds. I.e., those in customer service bring to the table dealing with people and being likable which brings great value.
