Pros

Get to work a job

Cons

I had an employer who sent me to sites and multiple people were quitting including myself because of poor work conditions, poor pay compared to rival companies. At this one location we were understaffed and they refused to send any additional officers since it costed more, they basically told us suck it up and work harder. 2 officers had to cover 4-5 Buildings and the exterior plus each building had 20-30 floors were we had to go up and down building to building individual floors racing to other buildings in order to help the residents in need meanwhile also securing garages which there were 3 of that had 5 floors of cars. It was an awful experince people were just worked to the brink of collapse and were taken advantage of when someone quit instead of getting a replacement we had to go 7 days a week no days off just to recover from someone quitting until the whole team had decided to quit. This company only cares about money and is really bad at caring for the employees life. I worked so much I almost crashed my car getting home from work due to working 7 days a week 12 hour shifts even though I told my manager that it was too much for me he kept me doing it until i decided to quit due to mistreatment. The only reason why I kept the job for so long was because I needed the money but I finally quit after it was destroying my mental state. The location was in Miami, florida and thats why people quit often.

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.
