G4S Employer Reviews

G4S is a fantastic company. You learn a lot due to the variety of co workers

Very repressive place to work! As a teacher there really is no academic freedom, if there is you need the Hubble Telescope to see it! {really!} I wish I read the reviews before I stated there 2 mos. ago, as I nevere would have gone there. I know the ecomomy is really bad w/jobs and all now,... but, folks hold out for someplace better! I've seen them – more... come and go on all the files of papers on the "teachers killed off" and this was told by me to close confidants too!!! I wish I cold say more but, I'm just "drained" writing about this place. Could be made int a Stephen King novel, or, just a cheep TV move of the week,... – less

I work nights and I am responsible for the security of a large corporate company from administration to customer service I have learnt many skills including multi tasking working and managing staff .
The Hardest part of my job would be making the right decision when a emergence happens on site and making sure the correct procedures are adhered to by – more... my self and other members of staff.

The most enjoyable part of my job is when I am able to assist the members of staff with any problems that may occur. – less

Work night shift 1800-0600 monday to friday , no weekends which is great. The pay is ok, but the job can be quite risky due to the transfer of money to banks and superstores. It's a very honest and trust worthy job due to the content, we have a good team as we all have to trust and rely on each other.

i was working as security .it was friendly and more of learning diffrent kind of skill in security

I've learned alot working for G4S the only problem I have is you that you have to be a CPO to become a supervisor, other than I like working the company.

i enjoy working for g4s.the best is when i am fully staffed and achieve my audit scores,
we all work as a team if we short staff we all pull together and make it work.i respect my staff and get the same back,what i cant handle is when i come into work and told told a few staff called in sick,because i start at 15.00 hrs,its to late for me to get staff – more... in ,my shift starts at 16,00hrs.
but as i say we work as a team we make it work – less

Failure by middle management to follow company's own procedures, along with the breaking of contractual obligations. Forced overtime, zero integrity or honesty from management. The training is a joke, you are left to cope with whatever problems arrive with no input from management. Refusal to supply references when looking for other employment which – more... results in prospective employers overlooking you. I have worked in third world and developing countries and can honestly say this is the worst company I have ever worked for. – less

in this company i am doing 6 days of weekly and i learned many things about security and safety. i was worked with so many type of co-worker. main role in my duty how to save the people , property and information.

You're an armed or unarmed security officer. The work days are 12 hour shifts. Ususally you'll work about 42 hours a week which equals around 3 1/2 days on. The downside is if someone gets sick or hurt, you have to cover for that person.

This company has too many high expectations and is one of the largeast Security firms in the world but thats why its out of control with poor management as we all knw the cock up at the olymipic games and much more.G4s are false promises,and only employs people or certain origin.

I have enjoyed working with them,
Every day was a great day,
Found and learned new things every day.
Co-workers were great,
Management was supper,
Every day is typical, but I enjoy working on typical situation

Overall its a nice place to work, I just think they need to reconsider management.

Can be challenging on a daily basis with different situations and people.

Everyday you can learn different aspect of the jobs performance, other than what is done on a daily basis

Management - Treats everyone with the same perspective. No one gets special priviledges

All co-works work as a team to assist one another

Dealing with a disgruntal enviroment,and – more... medical emergencies

Helping others and knowing what you done makes a difference. – less

The hardest part of the job was being awake for most of the week, through twelve hour shifts.

11.94 hr..crazy rules..standing in the rain..must be outside in all weathers! Terrible benefits..little ot..& no advancement opportunities..

I will come to sign-in at the main office and pick-up my assigned radio then go to my assigned post. I will sit in my post until break time. I was required to stand outside during peek hours which is 6-9 am and again at 3-6 pm. The supervisors use to ride by to make sure that you are paying attention. I learned that doing multiple things while at the – more... post helps time go by and helps me pay attention. Management seem to work against you rather with you. They sneaked around to try catching employees doing wrong rather watching out for trespassers and thieves. – less

A typical working day for me is working within the jobcentres & courts & dealing with various walks of life and situations, from helping with queries to dealing with aggression and violence.

The nature of job takes you into every aspect of of hospital services.Job requires significant people relationship skills between hospital staff and inmate coordination. Must be able to work efficiently with co-workers. Hardest part of job is controlling violent situations keeping both inmates and hospital staff safe during treatment/recovery cycle. – more... Seeing physical and behavioral recovery makes this job enjoyable as well as the camaraderie with my fellow officers. – less
