Pros

GREAT pay during summer or low employee times but not a reality. Huge radius that accommodates different commutes. Never see supervisors or any discipline seen through.

Cons

Wil send a rookie unarmed guard to dangerous sites even days after another guard was stabbed or attacked. They won't even mention it to you, and if you get hurt or something out of one's control happens, say bye bye. Take Anything they say at hiring with a grain of salt. Small Family Business that recently began bursting at the seams. The hours can be GREAT, but as soon as business slows regardless of agreements they will take OT to keep their profits. Expects Highs of $3800 to Lows of $1100, with zero warning and on top of that crushing blow they will still work you 6 days a week. Only way to stay in profit is to be a Yes man, with lets say a "loose" disposition, and don't dare stand up for yourself or expect BSG to remain accountable for their actions, because professionalism will go right out the window. Typical Old Town Middle Class family that has now lost all sense of humanity. Good employees are not cherished, they are used up and tossed to make room for someone they pay less and make more. Benefits only enroll once a year with limited options at $400+ a month, BIGGEST CON:, Communication is next to non existent unless it's too appease a client peeve. Regardless of safety or reason, the client get what they want and the guard is left t deal with the reality of what usually forgotten about in a week as many clients love BSGs willingness to make them feel important. Most clients tend to treat the guards as lesser people, both because they can, as BSG will just remove the guard if his/her counter point is valid. Evan seems like good people, but has become fairly scarce and doesn't respond to much anymore along with rest of office. Harry, Evans father and foothold to the community connections is only as nice as you let him screw you. Legitimate complaints are belittled and he will resort to name calling before owning his end. 3/4 of office staff have zero concept of real world struggles, things like not having enough gas, or any unexpected incident that affects one's schedule is routinely handled with skepticism and disbelief.
