Ok, I should have read the former posts before applying

Well, Having read the previous complaints about TWC, and having worked there for around 4 months, I gyess it's time to report.
So far, yes, I had to watch the 2 hour video, in addition to the other 5 hours of videos and tests.
I recieved only LS white shirts, and my job site requires black shirst.
I did not recieve a winter jacket, only the breezy summer shell.
My paychecks have been fine, so far, however...
Wierd rules - No hoodies or stocking caps (as they are non uniform, and a frozen corpse must be in full uniform); no facial hair below the top lip (since 70's porn stars make better guards, and frozen faces keep their smile longer); the wonderfull, multi-usefull whistle that MUST be worn (since the radios don't work, this must be how you call for help); and, my favorite, shiny black footwear (since that shine is SO important when doing outside patrols at factories).
I have called off twice during my time there and was told by my site supervisor that I would probably get a talking to for excessive absenses.
It was attempted to lay a guilt trip on me for not pulling two double shifts during the recent holidays, and since I DON"T GET OVERTIME, I really wasn't in the mood to work them.
Oh, yes, I don't recieve overtime since I work at two different site. This means that I am actually two part time guards, and would have to work a full 40 hours at both sites before I could recieve overtime for either.
As a result of being two part time guards, and having only one site offer benefits to the full time guards, I have no medical.
I think that's about all.
