Pros

There are truthfully no positives with this report,so please do NOT waste your time with Paragon Security!

Cons

There are to many to menton,from how people are treated,and all management cares about is their own pockets! They do not care about if you have a Family to feed, unless your willing to work long hours at $11.50 per hour,and thats after a 6 Months, unless they make you into a Floater On Call! Totally taking advantage of people, I am ready to throw in the towel very soon,and I am in the office and see that all unfolding. .....Pathetic!

Security is a nightmare industry...

Pros

Consistent FT hours. Best training in the industry.

Cons

Unfortunately almost everything you can imagine. Almost no chance at climbing ranks without truly sacrificing yourself to the company. Low pay. You are meant to feel expendable. All the new norms of the security industry made worse by a nightmarishly duplicitous staff (particularly in the condo sector.)

Pros

Paragon likes to bend over for their clients and take it up the @$$ and not fight for their guards. On the plus side if you can fog a mirror and have zero experience and or training, you can stand in if a supervisor is sick according to our scheduler. Another positive is that you can be late with little to no explanation other than "Traffic" and they don't care.

Cons

You'd think that the sites are Highschools there is so much inner company drama. Forcing guards to perform hot work permits (contradicting their own policies and standing orders where it states - Shift supervisors and Lead hands are responsible for HW permits). They also sign you up for training and things you have no interest in and borderline force you to go . . . Guards are CONSTANTLY late to relief your post/position. SUPERVISORS call in half hour before shifts and inform that they won't be in. An example of Paragon taking it up the rear; The client (Brookfield) wants 3 guards to watch and patrol three buildings (essentially a full city block) total floors would be in the 100+ range. This included complete stairwell (top to bottom) patrols . . . for $17.50.
