Vantaggi
~ Family owned and operated; not as much "red tape" to go around when seeking approval for some task or situation in most cases ~ As an employee, you get to enjoy discounts on the services offered by the company to their external clients ~ Pretty laid back environment overall; most everyone is friendly enough ~ Good opportunity to learn the phsyical security business aspects ~ Fairly easy to shift internally between departments and learn new skill sets ~ Entry level accessable in most departments (office and some field positions) ~ Plenty of coverage needed so hiring and interviewing pretty regularly ~ Great employee health, vision, & dental benefits; around average for dependants/families in price ~ If you are a self-starter, team player and looking to invest in learning all you can here you will do very well ~ Simple to "explain," but training could use more structure; as stated above, you have to be a self-starter, team player with a learners mindset to get the most out of any position/department *
Svantaggi
~ Minor and loose definitions in roles and responsiblities between departments & various positions ~ Little to no written policies or procedures for handling many situations; learn by doing, but not always in a "positive" or effecient way ~ Simple to "explain," but training could use more structure; you have to be a self-starter, team player with a learners mindset to get the most out of any position/department * ~ For the most difficult departments to keep staffed for due to coverage needs, skills required, etc., they have become most challenging as they are a Jack-of-all-trades / catch-all obsorbing more duties as services and products expand and evolve ~ Don't expect to get any living-wage raises, despite the growing and nebulous lists of responsibilities and industry changes ~ Partnered with a 3rd party to offer a 401K, however no longer matching.. ~ Family owned and operated; unfortunately the ceiling is pretty low on how far you can move up professionally and financially
