For college students
Admin/Security Officer (Current Employee), Irving, TX – May 16, 2013
Pros: flexibility for a college students, laid back
Cons: lack of hours, lack of consistency, lack of opportunity for growth
Security is a career for transitional people. It's extremely difficult to move up the ranks because companies are constantly being bought out and contracts are constantly being loss. Managers have been in the industry for a number of years and do not plan to leave the position. Hours come and go, which can really mess up your finances if you have financial – more... obligations. – less

Fun work environment
Security Officer (Former Employee), Clifton, NJ – April 21, 2013
Cons: short breaks
I checked to make sure doors were secured and there were no safety hazards to report or suspicious people. Ive learned how to stay on point and not trust everyone. My coworkers always made sure we were on the same page and kept the school safe together.The hardest part of the job was to make sure everyone stayed safe in the school. We would get rewards – more... for for certain things we did and have parties at the end of the school year. – less
