Pros
Great job opportunities at some large events including concerts, movie film sets and outdoor parties. Uniform provided (shirt, jacket, BBall cap). Good entry level job to gain work experience.
Cons
Minimum wage paid. Long hours, minimal breaks. Pants and shoes to be purchased separately and any other tools required (flashlights, upgraded hearing protection etc...). Security licence must be maintained at a cost of approx $80.00 every few years to be able to work. Can be quite boring depending upon your location to guard. Unruly, drunk patrons. Late hours. Varied shifts based on entertainment venues that are in town.
Great colleagues, most Supervisors are fun, give clear directions and a pleasure to work with. The type of events we have the opportunity to work is fun.
Cons
Pay is not great, don't always take care of employees on certain job sites.
