An industry that staffs every building

Security services companies protect offices, hospitals, schools, warehouses, retail centers, airports, and events across the United States, 24 hours a day. The largest providers employ hundreds of thousands of officers in the U.S. alone and hire continuously to cover new contracts and every shift, and most officer roles are open to people with no prior experience.

Which roles are open to those with no experience?

Unarmed security officer, lobby and front-desk officer, patrol and mobile officer, event and venue security, hospital and campus posts, warehouse and gate officer, and loss prevention roles regularly hire entry-level candidates. Employers typically provide the state-required training, help with licensing, and post-specific instruction before your first shift.

What benefits and schedules can you expect?

The largest security employers offer health, dental, and vision insurance for eligible officers, retirement plans, paid time off, uniforms and equipment, and structured training academies. Schedules are usually fixed posts on set day, evening, or overnight shifts, and the major companies promote large numbers of officers into supervisor, site manager, and branch roles every year.
