Pros

Higher starting wages than other security agencies in San Diego. The community is small, so you will likely get to meet most of the staff if you accept shifts and varying locations. There are a lot of people of color in the company and there is work with the Jewish community, almost all of whom are very welcoming and kind to their security staff. They will work with you to try to get shifts that are convenient for school & home/work convenience, though this is not always possible or guaranteed.

Cons

The company does not include health benefits. Because the company is small you may work one or two locations regularly, and the positions are mostly access control and perimeter checks. The EP and estate opportunities are in Los Angeles and sometimes in Orange County. Pay increases are not announced, and some new hires get paid more than staff that have been employed for 2+ years.

Pros

If you're lazy, you won't do well here. Each account operates differently because of the client but procedures are pretty much uniform. You literally get out of it what you put in. If a paycheck is all you want, that's all you will get. You have to live and breath this job, and the company will notice the difference in your performance.

Cons

The cons are based entirely on your performance. Medical benefits aren't the greatest but the pay is really good.

Pros

I would work mostly alone which I enjoyed, and also being able to cover different shifts at different locations from time to time. Very easy to get some overtime hours in.

Cons

The company instructors are amazing. Very knowledgeable but some of the people they hire are just not as professional. Its a very small company. A lot of the security agents that have been working there for a long time are just there for the paycheck so its hard to keep motivated.
