Cons
You’re expected to do overtime 2-3 times per week every single week. That is beyond unreasonable and asinine. This leads to high stress and quick burnout. No other security job that I’ve worked in the past required every single officer to do multiple 16 hour shifts a week. On top of the crazy mandations, you will be hands on with aggressive psychiatric patients, or homeless people who refuse to leave the premises almost everyday. As with any other hospital, the medical staff; particularly the nurses and doctors will blame security for any and everything, and you will receive very little to no support from upper management.
