Pros
Good benefits, including medical and dental. Good amount of paid time off (sick and PTO). 401(k) offers up to 4% matching at 100% dollar for dollar. Low job stress. Team lead typically allows good schedule flexibility. TDY/CONUS travel team allows a daily per diem while escorts are actively performing their duties. Very good pay for responsibilities.
Cons
When attempting to contact program managers, there can be delays (several days to a week) in receiving a response or sometimes no response at all. No annual pay raises . No night shift differential pay. TDY per diem stops while you are not actively on duty (i.e., sick, time off (even on vacation), etc.). Need to monitor your pay, work location in Insperity (for those who go TDY), among other things and contact program managers to make corrections. Ensure comments/notes are made in your paysheet for any schedule changes (i.e., swapped days with other escorts, etc.) to ensure pay is corrected. Highly recommend to have discussions and agreements in writing (i.e., texts, emails, etc.). Extra responsibilities outside scope of escort responsibilities can be assigned at times to assist with overall security, to include guarding doors.
