Supervisor have little or no experience Make promises they never plan to keep just to get you to agree to an assignment Will promise you a wage that's they know is wrong to get shifts filled Every site is a different contract meaning different pay grade Frequently supervised on sites by people who have far less experience Clients are lied to on staffing and the officers take the heat for it Good ethically strong employees take punishment for bad employees You will be sent to sites and given instructions for another site then being completely unprepared Frequently sent to sites in wrong uniform leaving officer to get wrath from client If you have an off time, it's not guaranteed. If someone calls off or doesn't show you will be stuck for up to 24 hours. ie: 12 hours shift and replacement no call no show. If you are part time and have to be off to get to full time job they don't care. You are stuck Regional manager doesn't care about employment laws. He's the boss and you'll get over it or get out Insurance provided but extremely overly expensive Promised bonus for recruiting new employees. Brought in 3 friends who worked long and hard and I never saw bonus even after constantly reminding office

Pros

It's a job, though tedious and dangerous, in hard economic times.

Cons

Dangerous work with little support - I had to threaten not coming in to work the next day because after requesting a relplacemnt bullet proof vest for 2 weeks (mine would not fasten around my abdomen, at all), I'd still not been issues one. My life was in real danger (Armed Bank Protection Officer) and it was if they didn't care. Only after informed that I wouldn't be coming in until I received a functional vest, did I receive it... same day.
