No experience is required. What we do tends to be repetitive and are skills that are easily learned. What we cannot teach though is the willingness to do whatever it takes. We hire people based on the latter and train them on the former.


You must be able to pass a drug screen and a background check. You will have to obtain your Security Guard License for the State of Alabama if you do not hold a current license, but we can help you get that.
