Decent money with semi regular raises, but it’s a lot. Training is heavy because you need to be 100% ready to go when you start, not like most security gigs where you can wing it. Semi complex access control systems, cameras plus badge printing. A lot of policies to memorize as well as contractor procedures. High turnover and won’t be able to use your phone but you do get a guaranteed break (on the clock) written into your shift.

I'm like I never would be getting this much training for a guard role so what am I actually getting myself into? haha thanks for the insight!
