Pros

easy job, easy money. they provide free parking

Cons

-they take advantage of employees and not give credit for their work/help -if you can't stay for OT be prepared for the supervisor to give you a hard time and make your shift a living hell. -ALWAYS missing hours and checks are ALAWAYS short and take almost a MONTH to pay what you're owed or 2 weeks if you're lucky -very hostile environment!! -supervisors are SUPER unprofessional. They start rumors about other guards to start problems/drama against other guards -there's no POINT! in making 5 or 10 reports or having witnesses if you're having problems with a supervisor or other guard because management swear they "NEVER RECIEVED ANYTHING" or "THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT" -no communication what so ever -it's always the same guards doing the work the rest just sit in hiding places and do nothing but watch Netflix for their 8hr shift

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
