Pros

Hours not bad. Supervisor is great to work with.

Cons

Training is not to good, most co workers, don't want you to know to much. Afraid of their job security. Some play on phone all thru the shift. Lazy don't want to even keep the time log up to date. Riser doors stay locked if a fire should break out we only have 1 set of keys. These people here don't even know what a riser room is. Security that is. All get the same pay, not wanting for anyone to advance in the company. No leader only supervisor. He's great to much on him. The people that works here are all pretty nice. Going on 3 years working here.

Pros

Hours if you willing to travel at your own expense and spend money on licenses that will not be reimbursed by the company. Money can be above average for a regular guard spot, but it depends on the contract and your boss. This is good if you need a job to keep yourself from starving as it is something and it is better than working in fast food.

Cons

Have to watch paycheck really close as they will tell you one rate for a job and pay you another. Been shorted on OT more than once because of 'accounting' errors from the head office. Front line managers do not help with this as they have no control. Area managers will lie to you to get you to do what they need done. Worked every holiday one year, I told my boss that I could not work a certain holiday, he keep on hounding me to do it because he had no one else. Finally caved so he would stop bothering me. Paycheck was not right in the end, but got worked out after a few weeks. The bi weekly pay dates do not help with this.
