Pros

The only pro about this job, and its a stretch, is the pay. It's not the normal minimum wage so I can be happy about that

Cons

The supervisor talk to you with absolutely no respect, no dignity, no sense of humanity. They talk about you like a dog when you aren't around and they even get caught slippin on the walkie talkies talking about people. This is THEE worst company I have ever worked for.

Pros

They will literally hire you on the spot and you can immediately earn money.

Cons

I am a former employee of GuardNow and was employed with them for one year. DO NOT work for them, because GuardNow is poorly managed and management is not interested in paying guards in a timely manner. Automatic payroll deposit would be the answer to lost paychecks that were supposed to be mailed out, but GuardNow does not have automatic payroll deposit, so they can finagle the payroll funds for up to three (3) weeks. Two weeks after you submit your timesheet, it is supposed to be mailed out. Another week can pass before you receive your check in the mail and sometimes NEVER. At the time of hire, employees sign an agreement with a clause that permits GuardNow an extra five (5) days to replace the alleged lost check. There were several instances when the check was never mailed; the guards waited three (3) weeks; and the office is filled with guards trying to get their NEVER MAILED paychecks. By the time you get your paycheck, it is time to submit the timesheet for the next pay period. The turnover in the administrative staff is constant and the guards are constantly quitting. Guards can train several relief guards a week. Apparently GuardNow is short staffed and when you are waiting for your post relief, they start to look for relief at the end of your shift. Finally, the client decided to change out GuardNow for another security company.
