Pros

I originally got the job so I could study for my AFOQT’s while I worked. The good thing is you have a lot of time by yourself if you have a fire-watch or similar temporary position. (Other positions where you’re always interacting with people can be draining for some) Nice uniforms

Cons

There was no Supervisor at either of my posts. The only person I had contact to was the number to the Field Captains work phone. I’ve never met this FC ( supervisor) before but I could swear it was a different person I talked to every few months. Zer0 training aside from some videos every Security Guard has to watch because of 9/11.

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.
