Pros

It can be a simple job as long as there are no calls to respond to. It keeps you busy regardless of the amount of calls. There's always something to do that can pass the time.

Cons

I watch three plants and 5 smaller buildings. It's too much for one security guard per shift. No benefits. Terrible vacation pay system. No paid sick days. You must come and respond to medicals with whatever sickness you have. Crappy hours. I'm working 12 hour shifts, 60 hours per week, because no one will accept the work load. We've been trying to hire for three months and have gone through 4 people simply unable to accept the load. Management is not trained to listen to the grunts. My supervisor does nothing about anything. Only half of what I do is truly security. Throw some maintenance and secretary work and the occasional taxi driver and we're close to my job description. 5 week hiring process for my client.

Pros

The only thing that I enjoyed while working here was the team that I had the privilege to work with. My employment was on a tech team which was a vendor with a larger Tech company. I was able to network and meet some amazing people that allowed myself to connect with others in the tech industry.

Cons

My experience with this company was extremely disappointing. I raised serious workplace concerns related to disability-related treatment, harassment, and overall employee support through internal reporting channels, but I did not feel those concerns were handled with the urgency, fairness, or accountability they deserved. The issues continued for a significant period of time, despite repeated attempts to report them properly. After I provided additional details that were requested as part of the internal reporting process, I was removed from my client assignment. In my opinion, the timing and handling of that decision felt retaliatory, especially because it happened after I raised concerns and participated in the company’s reporting process in good faith. I was initially told that another placement would be pursued, and there was communication for several weeks. However, I was ultimately separated from the company under a “Non-Placement Termination.” The experience left me feeling unsupported and gave me serious concerns about how employee complaints, workplace concerns, and follow-through are handled.
