Hands-on leadership with promotion opportunities, but average insurance

Pros

Great company with several opportunities for promotion. The work culture from the corporate office is very hands on. I see the owners several times a year, and have even worked along side them at special events. They lead from the front, which is something that is rare these days.

Cons

Insurance isn't the greatest, but is on par with all the other major security companies.
