I enjoy the structure of the job. I am given a task to complete, and it drives me until the end of my shift. I also enjoy how receptive management and other employees are.
What I wish was different
I wish the company would be a little more prepared to combat a lack of employees.
Advice
It's a great way to make money on your own schedule.

Security Guard Supervisor
June 2017 • Los Angeles, CA
What I liked
I enjoyed working at a wide variety of concerts and social events as a security guard supervisor. As a team with my fellow guards we ensured that people were safe and respected.
What I wish was different
I wish that event security guards were given stricter requirements as far as conduct and work ethic. Many security guards that were hired did not have the proper experience for certain jobs
Advice
To ensure that an event is safe team members must be respected by their supervisor and cared for so that they in turn will feel comfortable and enthusiastic about keeping the public safe

Security Officer
November 2018 - September 2019 • Emerado, ND
What I liked
Very low workload
What I wish was different
Pay was too low for commute and security clearance requirements. Pay is 15 an hour but you need a perfect record and its a long drive. Schedule flexibility is nonexistent. Constant pressure to pull more hours and low effort to hire new people by management.
Advice
Work this job to get your security clearance then move on.

Advice
Get a job that allows you to be professional while being yourself. If you drag yourself to the job and cannot wait to be off, the job isn’t for you. Mentally you can make yourself very ill because of the negativity you’re feeling.
