Pros
It was good for going to college. My boss was pretty cool and flexible with scheduling.
Cons
The pay wasn't enough to justify being talked down to by upper management in Portland. They treat employees like they are stupid, broke laws, and then get upset if you complain to someone above them. Absolutely no room for advancement and if you are a rural site they will ignore everything you say.

Pros
None at all. This job was the worst I would give a pro but there simply wasn't one. Ok here's one.... Nope can't find one !!!!
Cons
No vacation unless u found the person to cover. The bosses had bad attitudes. Terrible pay for the job that was required. Never supplied me with correct uniform to work in the elements. Always looking to catch you doing things wrong. Moral was terrible because of the bosses. No room for advancement. This job again was horrible.

Pros
This company has a number of clients in which they provide security services too. This gives you a little more variety in choosing where you would feel comfortable working. If you perform your duties and do your job, you will be ok.
Cons
The company pays everyone something different. Some people make as low as 8.75 and some make 12.50 at the same client location. Little to no room for advancement. Uniforms are also hard to come by. There is no sick pay. The company used to provide free health insurance to its employees but that is no longer the case.

Pros
If you do your job, you can pretty much get the schedule you want. The work is not hard. They do pay more than minimum wage. Sometimes you can get overtime.
Cons
There is not much room for advancement, position or pay wise. You have to keep an eye on your check for mistakes. You may have to fight for vacation or raises. The hiring process is ridiculously long due to HR's incompetence.
