Pros

Its a job in security

Cons

Pay is subject to be lowered ,incorrect, and slow to rectify. I actually had to involve the State labor board in a pay dispute and AU even lied to them. finally they had to pay me when I offered proof they could not dispute. Excuses are many for why pay is lowed to previous rates and reasons why it is incorrect. They are slow to pay if corrected at all in the Louisville ,Kentucky region. They already bid low and pay low to attract customers and then incorrectly pay officers. Recipe for turnover.

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
