I enjoyed an independent work environment, keeping my client safe, working for an employer with a long and storied history in their respective industry, meeting interesting people every single day, and generous compensation.
What I wish was different
Better safety measures in place for employees, less restrictive policies.
Advice
De-escalation is an important tool to use in protective services. You can talk your way our of 9/10 situations, but always plan a way out for that 1/10 possibility.
