OPERATIONS MANAGER (MID-ATLANTIC REGION) (Former Employee) – Annandale, VA – March 23, 2019
Your just another number in their database.
The main issue with them is their Branch. They don't support any of their contracts until the Client demands action.

Security Guard (Current Employee) – Morgantown, KY – March 22, 2019
I've been a security guard for years. It's one of the easiest jobs there is. I took this job because of a big pay raise and it was half the drive from my old one. The company is great if you show them you're willing to work. Their willing to work with you for hours and the office personnel are wonderful.

Cons
Slow on weekend nights

if out at the guard shack, bathrooms are not easily accessible
Some locations are good and some are not.

Security Officer (Former Employee) – Middletown, OH – March 21, 2019
I got a chance to work at sites with job duties that varied between making rounds in a building and premises, to sitting in a car and providing security at a damaged structure. Sites also included banks, restaurants, research facilities, abandoned warehouses, night clubs, bars, retail stores and even Fifth Third Field in Dayton. Quite a number of interesting locations and job descriptions to be sure.
Pros
Enough variety in sites worked at to make the job fun.
Cons
No raises or advancements available for the most part.
