Pros

If you are full time, they enroll you in automatic dry cleaning reimbursement. Depending on what store you work at, you MAY end up working with friendly, intelligent, hardworking human beings

Cons

If you aren't full time, they give you terrible hours, and your schedule fluctuates. They give you extremely cheap quality, over sized suits and expect you to pay for the tailoring yourself. They never do pay raises unless they give you a new job title. The job requires that you stand for very long periods, so you may develop knee/foot problems. Lastly, considering how much money they make off charging high end retailers top dollar for sub par security service...you would think they at least offer benefits, paid vacation, but they don't. Nor do they pay their agents enough.

Pros

Hours if you willing to travel at your own expense and spend money on licenses that will not be reimbursed by the company. Money can be above average for a regular guard spot, but it depends on the contract and your boss. This is good if you need a job to keep yourself from starving as it is something and it is better than working in fast food.

Cons

Have to watch paycheck really close as they will tell you one rate for a job and pay you another. Been shorted on OT more than once because of 'accounting' errors from the head office. Front line managers do not help with this as they have no control. Area managers will lie to you to get you to do what they need done. Worked every holiday one year, I told my boss that I could not work a certain holiday, he keep on hounding me to do it because he had no one else. Finally caved so he would stop bothering me. Paycheck was not right in the end, but got worked out after a few weeks. The bi weekly pay dates do not help with this.
