Armed Security Officer

Flex Officer

TD Security - Cleveland, OH

2 February 2013 to August 2013

Resigned to enjoy retirement plus job dissatisfaction in that I was called to work unarmed positions & work when I just finished a tour of duty, which, to me, is indicative of a management-operations problem. I realize, while working in the same position in other venues, that sometimes, I mean, sometimes, you are stuck with call-offs, resignations, no-shows, etc. But, at this company, it was too frequent and happened to just a few S.O.s which Operations never addressed. Was time to move on.
