Pros

Many genuinely nice co-workers.

Cons

Where to begin? The culture in the SSO is a joke. Managers do not interact with the underlings. And believe me, we are treated as such. The Directors are socially awkward, and pained to even have to converse with the staff. Middle management, aka "Supervisors" are unwilling (likely because they are incapable) to train subordinates. They openly, and with glee, talk about how incompetent the staff is, not realizing ( or not caring) how pathetic they sound. You literally cannot ask a question without being made fun of or snarled at. They all have weird medical issues or family problems they love to talk about. It's the most unprofessional work environment I've ever worked in.

Pros

Some of the people you meet are cool and you make real good connections with the professional guards (not a lot, but i got lucky)

Cons

*Management doesn't answer their phones *Management don't want to help you address the issues onsite unless the manager of that site has an issue. *Rude and non responsive office. *Operations managers and client managers are useless. (Their assistants do a better job than they do) *The guards are not the priority to management and the company. Very childish and hostile environment. *A lack of structure, communication and support.
