Pros

The pro is that they pay minimum wage, so you can find another job else where if you are not satisfied.

Cons

Poor equipment, promised wages are never followed through with, they rip you off, lie to your face, and communication between guards and supervisor's is terrible. When I quit, I had multiple supervisor's trying to call me to work. I told them I quit they didn't believe me. IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT DO NOT WORK HERE. I will give anyone I can advise. When I was going through my background investigation for LE (been in for over 3 years now) the investigator questioned me on being an investigative lead (Witness) in a crime outside my home. If you pull some crazy rent a cop gimmicks with these guys and the police are involved your chances of getting into LE are pretty much done, trust me. If you want a solid stepping stone work as a TPD or PCSO dispatcher, court clerk, prison system, or any other entry level jobs out there. They pay more, provide excellent benefits, and make a real difference in the community. Look at them on Youtube, two negligent shootings in the past 5 years. Look at their hiring statement for security guards in Tucson. "Let us start our adventure together". Really? This a security company who observes and reports, not a Lethal Weapon sequel. STAY AWAY FROM VPS!!!!!

Pros

The management is very understanding and treats their employees well. They listen to concerns and are reasonable when it comes to requesting time off.

Cons

Even though a lot of positions are unarmed, things can get crazy. This job is not for the faint of heart.

Pros

you can make positive or negative impac on contacts. and the community you patrol. its all about respect. and taking the time to talk to residents how important your job is.. and the safety on the community it takes people who care were they live and work together with security to keep the issues out of the community. close pool gates and protect the little ones from drowning. time off is given you must give 2 weeks notice.. training is given .if you fail to pay attention n class then youll fail the field. its that simple..dont call dispatch every time cops are on property. learn tobe observing more . make contacts more in the pool till you get toknow who lives on property. focus on doing a random breezewaycheck for marijuana issues and alcohol issue,s . and vacant unit checks to make sure door is secured. and most of all enforce community policy rules. in a respectful way at all times. you can make your post patrols see fit. if you pay attention. its not easy at first. tillyou have learned to master the art of contacts. and most of all communication with management must be a everyday thing. stay focus.

Cons

delivering notices too all units 2 days straight. but a great work out.
