No raises, no respect, no communication from superiors - Security Officer SOS Security Employee Review

They have great contracts also are located almost everywhere so u can be posted close to home. they work with your schedule and interest you

Standing for long periods of time some of the post are really demanding and you can be let go quick if you don't have the right experience

Hours if you willing to travel at your own expense and spend money on licenses that will not be reimbursed by the company. Money can be above average for a regular guard spot, but it depends on the contract and your boss. This is good if you need a job to keep yourself from starving as it is something and it is better than working in fast food.

Have to watch paycheck really close as they will tell you one rate for a job and pay you another. Been shorted on OT more than once because of 'accounting' errors from the head office. Front line managers do not help with this as they have no control. Area managers will lie to you to get you to do what they need done. Worked every holiday one year, I told my boss that I could not work a certain holiday, he keep on hounding me to do it because he had no one else. Finally caved so he would stop bothering me. Paycheck was not right in the end, but got worked out after a few weeks. The bi weekly pay dates do not help with this.
