Time to move forward from this company
Security Officer (Current Employee), Parma, OH –
Pros: close to home and school
Cons: poor benefits, no advancement, no raises
I have been with the company for years and when an opportunity for advancement presented itself my education,experience, years with the company was overlooked by a person who's been with the company no more than sixty days. I am in the process of looking elsewhere for a company that appreciates their employees.

Contract Work
Security Guard (Former Employee), Calgary AB –
Customer comes first at expense of your safety and the security of the customers. Management does what they can with what they have to work with and are often caught in the middle. Better then other companies in the field. Keeping detailed personal notes is a must as clients will scapegoat for their own short comings.

Sam's Club was a dicent job
Foxconn - Security Receptionist (Current Employee), Houston Tx –
Pros: healthcare
Cons: only 32-34 hrs for full time employees
I enjoyed working at Sam's Club for the most part. My tipical day was busy dealing with customers and handeling large sums of money. However, fomancially the job was not stable. I enjoyed laughing with my co-workers which was the most enjoyable part of my day. The hardest part of the day was dealing with angery customers.

Very low key, menial and repetative work
Security Guard (Current Employee), Demopolis, AL –
Pros: light work load, no on-site supervisor
Cons: not very stimulating work, low salary, lack of benefits
Work evenings and nights mostly. Not very stimulating work. Management is very hands-off. As long as you don't go over 40hrs or violate company policy they don't really care what you do. Co-workers are nice enough, most are high school graduates. Very light duty; ride the desk all day

Typical lousy contract security company
Security Officer (Former Employee), Omaha, NE –
As most contract security companies, they treat their employees poorly when it comes to posts, new positions, etc. Other than one account, their pay is lousy & so are a majority of the people they hire. They are consistantly losing accounts in Omaha, NE.
