Pros

(Per my current site's standards- Downtown Atlanta) - Effective patrol/posts on the property and surrounding areas - Rich dynamic when it comes to networking

Cons

(Per my current site's standards- Downtown Atlanta) - Excessive taunting from superiors - Lack of discipline - Inadequate staffing/scheduling (its getting better) - Disconnect in communication between superiors and officers (HUGE PROBLEM, HUGE!!!!) - Lack of respect; officers and leadership alike - Micromanaging - Workplace Bullying - Corrective action is never suffice to performance issues by security officers; if an officer asks for clarification to get a CLEAR understanding on what triggered a disruption in workflow, its either followed by attitude from a superior or alienation of that officer .....I can continue, but I think the picture is clear.....WE NEED TO DO BETTER!!!

Pros

Some of the people you meet are cool and you make real good connections with the professional guards (not a lot, but i got lucky)

Cons

*Management doesn't answer their phones *Management don't want to help you address the issues onsite unless the manager of that site has an issue. *Rude and non responsive office. *Operations managers and client managers are useless. (Their assistants do a better job than they do) *The guards are not the priority to management and the company. Very childish and hostile environment. *A lack of structure, communication and support.
