I want to come at this from a different perspective. I am on Social Security and was looking for a supplemental job for some extra income. At Guardian when interviewed I told them of my availability and how far I was willing to travel each way. I have been in positions no further that 18 miles from my home, some as close as 1 mile. I have been with Guardian for 4 1/2 years and as some have said, yes, you pay for your uniforms up front, taking a amount out of your paycheck every 2 weeks. Once past that your pay can be better than other security companies. I have worked for a few. I am working in the banking division doing banks and credit unions. Sometime they will ask to work different locations within the same division, but if you set your parameters early on as I did, you can get many locations within your desired area. I am 61 on SS and Guardian has let me supplement my income working 2-3 days a week for the last 4 1/2 years and know for a fact that I am making more money than many of the other security companies.
