Pros

i guess you can call it a job...

Cons

pay rate is horrible , getting more hours is not their priority , they don't care about you as an employee , cause they know you're replaceable even if you worked in the security industry & well deserving of a raise or better position they wont grant it , or if you wanna leave to a different location they will make up an excuse with no actual proof & terminate you , that way you wont be eligible for re-hire overall horrible 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.
