Pros

They will higher you if you have a heart beat.

Cons

Your heart beat is really all they want. Ever day at least half the crew will be forced to stay for a double shift but then still expect you to be there for your next official shift making it a triple shift with a small small break in the middle. Guards will be forced to look awake while actually sleeping against the wall because how else will you manage? If a supervisors sees you, you will be fired for what is essentially something they did. You can avoid this by comming early and not being one of t last people walking through the door but by early I meens hours early without pay because everyone will be doing the same thing in order to not be held over. Also the company tried to get you to do free labor at ever turn which adds up over time. 1) When you go on break remember to dock your walky on a charger. (Which meens your going to loose about 5 to 10 min of your break dropping of an receiving your walky.) 2) When you go to lunch tell the guard outside to switch with Charley. (Again another 10 min detour.) 3) Wait in the lobby till your relieved (10-30 min after your shift was supposed to have ended and they still mark you down as having left at your regular scedualed time.)

Pros

Some of the people you meet are cool and you make real good connections with the professional guards (not a lot, but i got lucky)

Cons

*Management doesn't answer their phones *Management don't want to help you address the issues onsite unless the manager of that site has an issue. *Rude and non responsive office. *Operations managers and client managers are useless. (Their assistants do a better job than they do) *The guards are not the priority to management and the company. Very childish and hostile environment. *A lack of structure, communication and support.
