Pros

There are truthfully no positives with this report,so please do NOT waste your time with Paragon Security!

Cons

There are to many to menton,from how people are treated,and all management cares about is their own pockets! They do not care about if you have a Family to feed, unless your willing to work long hours at $11.50 per hour,and thats after a 6 Months, unless they make you into a Floater On Call! Totally taking advantage of people, I am ready to throw in the towel very soon,and I am in the office and see that all unfolding. .....Pathetic!

Business outlook

Pros

Consistent FT hours. Best training in the industry.

Cons

Unfortunately almost everything you can imagine. Almost no chance at climbing ranks without truly sacrificing yourself to the company. Low pay. You are meant to feel expendable. All the new norms of the security industry made worse by a nightmarishly duplicitous staff (particularly in the condo sector.)
