Easy security work, typical of security.  Very lax adherence to work regulations by 'officers'.  Some supervisors, shift officers played video games during shifts.  Other supervisors are very good.  
Hired for one full time shift - clearly spelled out.  After short time, notified *DAILY* by text of shift available.  Included nights, weekends that were NOT included at interview / hiring verbal agreement.  Had to text supervisor multiple times for shift information.  More than once, was told there was nothing for me the next day.  Did not get full time as was agreed at hiring.  Moved to multiple post locations in order to get work time.  Each post has different procedures and different software.  Not hard to learn, but very different procedures between posts.  
Felt like officers were not respected and punished if they do not accept the shift /post offered.  There is definitely retribution if you do not accept unagreed upon assignments.  Direct management is horrible.  
One good thing is that training is sufficient.
In sum, I would advise to avoid this security company.  There are many other companies that are professional, value their officers and treat them with respect.

Guard one or "security solutions of America" Worst company I've ever had the displeasure of working for. So unprofessional and disorganized. They constantly weren't paying employees so people would either quit or just not work. And when I say constantly I mean EVERY pay period there were huge complaints. It was obvious why they were losing contracts left and right. NOBody had control over anything. Pisspoor communication especially for the amount that they wanted you to work. The whole operation from top to bottom was Sloppy. I even tried to take it up to corporate they didn't even bother getting back to me. LMAO
I pray you see this before you make a bad decision. DONT work here. They have no respect for your time, the workload is ridiculous and they for sure aren't paying enough for what they're asking. 
If you have kids they WILL NOT accommodate you and you will be penalized. If you are a nonparental caregiver - consideration nor empathy will be extended. 
It's honestly impressive how terrible of a work environment this company was. 

People who work there as an officer are great. But the manager has a nasty attitude and don’t let it be towards you because once you report it he puts on a show. The account manager is even banned from Volkswagen but they have a contract they says ALOTTTT.  They also used my personal at their advantage and fired me after my grandma pass and on the day of I was moving in my apartment. One of the cars are infested with house roaches from someone bringing them in and if you have them most ppl know the come out at night and they were visible at night time on my shift and they just told me to keep taking pictures and give it a modeling show but wasn’t doing anything about the problem. And they are two faced lairs. They need to be shut down!! The account manager will have you watching her son as well. During hiring process. And they only have once account in out city should also say ALOTTT. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I am unable to come up with the best part because there is No accountability at all for what is said or not disclosed. This is a at will state and I will never work for this company again. No real concern for officers and highly misleading.

If you are looking for a security job in which to start, or begin your security career, or even if you are using a security job as a stepping stone for law enforcement, you might want to look here. However, if you find something better do not hesitate to pursue it. Management here changes constantly, so do not get used or attached to any of your supervisors. You will rarely ever see any of your co-workers more than likely, and when you start you may have to occasionally jump down someone's throat about your pay.
