Pros

You’ll know your base schedule week to week

Cons

I don’t know how this company has 4 star average on Glassdoor. Where to begin? Honestly, I have worked for many different security companies and this one has to be the worst. First off, the pay isn’t great. Definitely could be better. the worst part is the disorganization. I have had to work overtime and did not receive my overtime pay. We are forced to stay because of whatever reason, but they don’t have an “on call” schedule or they tell us less than an hour left into the shift. It feels like the employees that actually do what they are supposed to do are the ones being punished. How are we supposed to even have work life balance if we have to be prepared to stay?

Management is very sneaky. Will talk about you to higher ups and smile in your face. Take away hours at short notice and let you go without a moments notice

Good Company but terrible Corporate management

Pros

Easy work, good down time, Some good co workers

Cons

No advancement opportunities. They will tell you there are but then you never see them. The upper management treats you like crap. I worked there for 3 years and for 2 yrs. i was talked to like a dog. only reason i stayed was for a paycheck. You get promoted with no pay increase, was there for 3 yrs and never got a raise, you get employee of the month and not told about it til a year later. The management will tell you one thing then lie about it to make you look bad in front of the client. If you show up early for work you get threatened to be fired even thou you didnt clock in. those that show up late or always call out get promoted. No matter how hard you work its never good enough.
