Pros

willing to work with you on time off, as long as you find coverage. base salary is ok for the area. but at times McDonalds was hiring at a higher salary so competitive for the area as there is not much in front royal but not the best either.

Cons

absolutely everything involving corporate. they will lie and change your contract without informing you; the management positions (with a lot of added responsibilities) only pays $1 more than the base salary; the anual inflation raise didint cover the inflation rate in 2022 or 2023, so I ended up Making less in monetary value by the time I left the company from when I started with the company. and anything else you can think of is awful. I left due to managments refusal to control the indoor smoking and the fact that other coworkers where deficating all over the office, Granted he was disabled, but they should be responsable for making sure its cleaned up, not just leave the us (the night shift) with it as there is no one other than security personnel on site by the time we get there, I complained in daily emails and in person for nearly 1.5 years till I quit, Then they refused to pay unemployment. so yeah save yourself the trouble of working for such a misguided company

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.
