Pros

Immediate hiring They pay on time The people I directly worked with were all great. Communication and comradery within the small group that I worked with was excellent. Outside of that and especially in the main office is where it begin to fall apart.

Cons

Weekly schedules Low pay Poor communication Company blatantly does not care about its employees They hire anyone and everyone Unstable scheduling I am not even sure where to begin with this company but here we go. First off they highly encourage prior military, police and people with relevant degrees to apply. They will hire you but they will not take any of your experience into account when it come to paying you. You will make the same as the kid straight out of high school that has only worked at Taco Bell. Secondly, the gear that they sell you is crap is they know it. So if you do work for them buy your own stuff. After about 6 weeks of working for JBM the boots that I bought from them brand new were cracked in half on the bottom. I took them in to show how they were cracked in half and had not even had them for 2 months. I was told everyone knows that the boots are garbage but what is sold to the employees is outside his pay grade. This is the type of caring you should get used to if you work for them. One of the few good things about this company is the ability to pick up bonus coverage's for $20 and up but they manage to even make doing that a bad thing. The one and only time a volunteered for extra coverage I saw my next two schedules have drastically less hours than normal. Well under 40 and to the point were it negated all the extra money that I earned working the extra coverage. I could go on like this all day but wont. I will summarize by saying again do not work here if you do not have to and if you have to do not stay long. Also be sure to buy your own gear.

JBM Patrol & Protection Response

As with all professions, sometimes it simply is not a good fit. Often times, people make a decision to enter into a profession they are not suited for and find it difficult to make another change . Public Safety in the private sector is a very demanding yet rewarding career. The demands and expectations of the officers at JBM Patrol are some of the highest in the industry and some of the highest rewards in the industry as well. For some, operating at such a high level is simply too much. JBM Patrol strives to always correct any challenges or issues that are brought to the attention of Supervision or Management. JBM Patrol obsesses to maintain a culture free from issues, drama or conflict . Although no company can make every employee happy 100% of the time, JBM Patrol takes pride in the fact that the length of employment on average is 2 to 4 years, and a majority of officers rarely have any complaints. Nearly all of the officers that leave the agency to move out of state, go into law enforcement, start career jobs or go back into the military comment that they enjoyed being part of a unique and tremendously rewarding private security agency.
