YELLOWJACKET vs. EVERY OTHER COMPANY
Lets face it: so many security and SPO agencies/companies are just plain horrible! After working for them, you usually end up with a long list of frustrations. Payroll is late or riddled with errors (usually benefiting your employer), supervisors are extra rude, schedules constantly changing and another 1000 items you can think of.
We have been there and we understand. Yellowjacket has worked to provide an atmosphere of respect, understanding and the ability to actually grow and be promoted. We have created systems to promote organization and reduce unnecessary and needless stress.
