Vantaggi
This role puts the guard in a wide spectrum of locations -- one day, you're at a super chill living center, only doing walk-throughs every half hour and hardly interacting with people. Another day, you're at a chaotic, dangerous homeless shelter, physically herding (and sometimes restraining) the mentally ill and parolees, while at the same time taking a psychological toll from being verbally berated and threatened. It definitely keeps the job interesting. In addition, Precision does work at construction sites, libraries, concerts, large events, private businesses, banks, and much more. Part-time employees can pick up shifts to work at their choosing. This makes it super flexible and easy to fit around a full-time job or school. If one is lucky enough, he/she can get assigned to a post and get consistently scheduled there. Most shifts are in the Northern Colorado area. Some are Denver and Cheyenne area. Pay is competitive; often higher hourly rates are provided on shifts that are last minute, dangerous, or far away. Sometimes a fuel stipend is provided. Yearly, the standard hourly rate increases a bit. Get certified into doing armed work to get paid more. Most armed positions are at undisclosed locations, but some are part-time and are available for pickup. There is a general demographic of people that succeed at working in this company: current/ex/future military and law enforcement. Be prepared to exist and interact with other guards in this kind of environment, along with their conversations, tactics, and humor associated.
Svantaggi
Having been with this company for quite a while, it has gone through some changes. This company recently did a lot of hiring of less-qualified individuals, flooding the workforce with subpar and ill-trained guards. The summer time is busy, and it's easy to pick up work as much as one needs. However, the winter time gets slow and it is hard to find work -- especially since all the hiring. It takes a while to get promoted to anything in this company unless an individual stays on for a VERY long time.
