Pros

Full time schedules offered, guaranteed paycheck every 2weeks, depending on site you can meet some really cool people, work many different positions in security from vehicle gate, vehicle patrol, foot patrol, rover, command center, lobby, etc. There is opportunity to become a supervisor, or work your way up to management level. Many different schedules offered from day, swing, and grave.

Cons

Limted growth. It does not take long to learn about a position and after learning you pretty much just do the same thing everyday 5x a week 365 with no advancement/growth or learning new skills. You may get a desk job where you are chained to your desk the entire shift only allowed to leave on designated breaks. You can be starring at a computer screen for hours, staring at a wall for hours... its extremely boring. Management is not very great, HR isnt either. People get away with a lot of things, favoritism is played a lot. Its a very unfilling job, your kinda a number/warm body to fill an empty seat. The uniforms get annoying after awhile. I left after 5years because I got tired of standing in one place. Pay is topped out and you can stay for however long you want and never get a raise.

Pros

The only thing that I enjoyed while working here was the team that I had the privilege to work with. My employment was on a tech team which was a vendor with a larger Tech company. I was able to network and meet some amazing people that allowed myself to connect with others in the tech industry.

Cons

My experience with this company was extremely disappointing. I raised serious workplace concerns related to disability-related treatment, harassment, and overall employee support through internal reporting channels, but I did not feel those concerns were handled with the urgency, fairness, or accountability they deserved. The issues continued for a significant period of time, despite repeated attempts to report them properly. After I provided additional details that were requested as part of the internal reporting process, I was removed from my client assignment. In my opinion, the timing and handling of that decision felt retaliatory, especially because it happened after I raised concerns and participated in the company’s reporting process in good faith. I was initially told that another placement would be pursued, and there was communication for several weeks. However, I was ultimately separated from the company under a “Non-Placement Termination.” The experience left me feeling unsupported and gave me serious concerns about how employee complaints, workplace concerns, and follow-through are handled.
