Pros

There are absolutely no pros to mention. Okay, maybe one. The company has potential to become a great company as the industry doesn't have much competition. They have different business lines so opportunities to grow are limitless.

Cons

Local and Senior leadership are bullies and the most unprofessional I have ever observed. Benefit costs are astronomical that not even management can afford. Most of staff is uneducated and can't even write basic emails. Worst of all, there are so many connections between institutionalized employees you cant provide any constructive criticism to one because it will spread like the plague to the point where everyone will retaliate against you. This is absolutely the worst company I've worked for in my entire life and if I didn't have responsibilities I would leave in a heart beat. Stay away from Garda as it will make you hate life.

Pros

None. Unless you want long hours and little pay. Faulty equipment. Trucks break down. No AC. They will work you like a slave. No raises they just like to blow smoke up your butt.

Cons

DONT DO IT! I was a supervisor for 5 years. Most of the positive reviews on here ,are from people who are managers or higher up . Management lies to get people in. You always have to look over your shoulder because they want to fire people for lower wage workers. If they promise something don't believe it. There are plenty of jobs that are willing to pay better and will respect hard working people this company ain't it.
