Pros

You have a forty hour post. They provide uniforms (though in my 5 months, I've yet to receive mine.) They say they have benefits. I haven't seen a welcome package in the 5 months (since buying out ISMG) I have been here though.

Cons

No paper paystubs. Everything is handled through e-hub (e-hub is microsoft silverlight only). Upper management ignores their posts. You can't get anyone to answer the phone in California. Payroll is handled in California. Promotion is non-existent.

Pay discrepancies, delayed benefits, poor communication, lies, fraud, wage theft, misrepresentations, a nightmare.

Pros

There are no good reasons to work for this company. They took over the contract at our site and have screwed up everything imaginable. We just hope they'll lose the contract eventually, so we can be free of them. They are utterly incompetent and without ethics.

Cons

Outright lies, pay shortages, non responsive administration, misleading policy statements. This company is about one thing, acquiring contracts. Once they're in, the security department goes to hell. No respect for seniority, scheduling debacles, stupidity, ignorance. Worst company I've ever worked for.
