Pros

40 hours a week, constant schedule and lots of overtime when wanted. Plus I got unlimited uniforms(jackets, hats, visor, rain jacket). Also got 4 days of training.

Cons

Relieving guards not showing up, HR messing up on my paychecks and Supervisor was never on site. I would recommend getting Sup main number.

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.
