Pros

Indoors No other pros exist

Cons

The management was unprofessional and verbally abusive at every level. They trick you into thinking you will be doing intelligence work, but in truth, you are watching almost 2000 cameras for 12 hours a day. That is it. Depending on the day and the mood of the "director," you may or may not get a break. If you have anything going on in life, it comes second to your four-day on, four-day off schedule. No matter what they tell you, the schedule is not changing, and there is zero growth opportunity. You are a number in a seat, nothing more. You start in the position you will stay in until you quit, or the director makes up a reason to fire you because he does not like you. He talks unprofessionally and derogatorily about everyone to everyone. You are wrong if you think he does not talk badly about you while he is "venting" about everyone else. He will also boast about having double-digit HR complaints against him (which is true), but HR will not do anything about it because the Embedded Director has the final say and tells HR what to do. In the span of six months, the entire team (12 people) changed over twice. Do not let the dollar amount fool you; you will be a prisoner. The team referred to the four days off as yard 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.
