Depends upon the place of posting.
Security Officer (Current Employee), Mississauga, ON – February 13, 2013
Pros: free coffee.
Cons: humiliation all the time in spite of being helpful.
Normally, all days are good and some days are tiring.

I learned to read minds of customers.

Management is good as far as I have known.

Co-workers are polite, but if placed in hotels work is tiring and no refreshment like food and/or snacks are available.

Hardest part is to stay vigilant all the time, expecting the unexpected, and NO incentives.

Most – more... of the days are cool, but who knows what the next day is going to bring. – less

work experience with G4S
mobile patrol officer (Former Employee), Calgary, AB – January 18, 2013
Pros: enjoyed working with fellow co-workers
Cons: being punished for one mistake
I enjoyed working with fellow co-workers at beginning but later felt like I was being treated like a number. i had made some mistakes but thought they would feel that a loyal and dedicated employee should be given a second chance.

Great company... the pay sucks.
Licensed Security Officer (Current Employee), Edmonton, AB – November 30, 2012
Pros: interesting job.
Cons: they need to screen their employees better.
Although I truly believe G4S cares for their employees, sometimes the very things in their policies such as the rule of "not vieing for advancement" often gets overlooked and the truly good workers get let go.

Good place to start
Security Officer (Current Employee), Pittsburgh, PA – May 17, 2013
Good place to start with strong leadership tho that could change based on site and location. Sub contract company so you will be posted at different location. every client is different and requires different things. people on mostly posted on one client if they are full time.

Horrible Company
security gaurd (Former Employee), albuquerque – May 13, 2013
Pros: all the overtime you want and then ome
Cons: sleep depravation low pay
This company does not care about its employees safety. You will be terminated/ transferred to a lower paying post for not accepting overtime. This Company will have you work a 12hr shift then let you have a five hour break t before sending you on mandatory training for 4&1/2 hours before send you back on another 12hr shift.

Could be worse!?!
Security Officer (Current Employee), Lake Orion, MI – May 3, 2013
Appreciate the job but overall, the company and union for that matter are horrible. Management is terrible, no sense of leadership and other things as well. No kind of promotion at all. The Union does nothing for the worker. Haven't seen a rise in years.
