Pros

Easy and laid back job, has basic benefits including 401k after 6 months of employment. The starting pay ranges from $19-24 an hour depending on years of experience or have armed guard card you get paid more. Overall it's alrite lays the bills but not a career for a person in your 30s, just perfect for any younger person in their early 20s or retiree.

Cons

Low pay, recruiters are all over the place, miscommunication within the company, lazy co workers who call in a lot of are always removed from a site due to unprofessionalism or not making the client happy and potentially losing a client. Just a job nothing too special about working for this company, would choose any other security company.

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.
