No work balance, no personal days no paid vacation and no benefits. Training is laughable and management was horrendous. I was promoted quickly, just to be left alone during management training and expected to run the entire show while my "trainers" vanished. I loved the people I worked with but upper management needs to be wiped and redone and proper training and pay, and benefits need to be restructured. They do not care about you, or your family. Only their bottom line and contracts. Whatever makes them a dollar and they'll toss you to the side for looking at them the wrong direction. Quite sad for an easy going market their involved in. 

I was hired as an armed guard. Sadly, they never get you your FCC card and expect you to work unarmed which is almost madness in Chicago these days. They have management that talk down to you and get irate if you question anything, or simply can't make it in because of personal matter such as illness.  They offer no training, benefits, or direction on post.  They expect you to always cover as a floater/flex even though you are told you can choose when and where you'd like to work.  This company doesn't drug test the guards they hire for armed positions, not that it matters, they won't get you the FCC card and lead you on with false promises.

I had a set schedule, that was it. 
 they did not tell me what my job duties were even tho I asked after they changed the duties of a team lead. Management is horrible. WOULD NOT EVER TELL ANY ONE TO WORK HERE. My last day was my first day at my new job.  They dont let you get a second job without talking to them about it.  If you need to pay your bills dont work here.  They pay is not worth the hassle.  Hardest part of my job was dealing with the upper management.  They dont listen worth jack!! The most enjoyable part was...... hahaha.  Yah right.  There was none.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I work with , and the places that employ us

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Waiting on fcc , mine wasn't applied for till 6 weeks after my state firearm training was in to the state . 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
What you would expect from working at a dispensary 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends on the dispensary, and the directives of the job site

The only good part of working here is the client employees I work around. Management is a joke and threatens to fire you regularly. Stay away if you know what's good for you. They DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. You are so replaceable to them. The hours are a joke. Got hired for 40 hours barely get 25. Manager keeps saying he's gonna fix that but hasn't. Look elsewhere for employment if you value yourself even a little.

Do your perimeter checks and keep a log. Keep an active eye out for security threats. Not a hard job at all. Most enjoyable part is you’re not micromanaged 

No matter what the circumstances, you cannot take a sick or personal day, they will ignore you, all of my coworkers and managers are selfish and incompetent. Do not waste your time with this company

The company is under new management and making changes from the top down to improve working conditions, compensation, and benefits. Changes can be challenging and also offers great opportunity for advancement. The team players rise quickly. 

The management is pretty good and they do respond and check in with you. Pay is good. They need to hire people who want to obtain their FCC card and provide them resources to get it. Overall I'm happy and love the site that I'm at. 

They say you’re a 1099 but when you set your hours they take them away. Then force you to work hours not in agreement. Or will terminate you for not attending said hours that were not agreed on. No benefits no pto
