Loss prevention agents can make more or less than their detective counterparts, depending on their actual industry. For example, loss prevention agents who worked for security services made an average hourly wage of $21.17, as of May 2010.
I work as a loss prevention associate at 40 hours a week. I get paid 10.00 an hour with full benefits and travel pay. I still hate how I get treated here. I bust my butt and produce results. but they are never enough. there is no room for advancement so don't ask.
