Garda Employer Reviews

Pretty neat job as security guard, low risk
however management was poor

Working with Garda was all right but I did not find that the pay was good for what I was doing

Great people and staff.
managing team is always have your back pushing you to work harder
nice atmosphere
open space
flexible shifts

A typical day at work would consist of screening passengers and their belongings. I have learnt many valuable skills such as excellent customer service and extreme attention to detail. I enjoy my job however the management team is quite weak. I enjoy the interaction with my co-workers as what we do is a team effort. The hardest part of my is working – more... very early hours of the day and still being completley aware of the surroundings. With Security you must be vigilant at all times. The most enjoyable aspect of my job is meeting a wide variety people on a daily basis. You never know who you will run into. – less

Co-workers are really nice and management is very helpful. The most enjoyable part of the job is traveling and meeting new people. It is not a regular 9 to 5 job; you have a specific start time but due to many factors such as traffic and weather condition you never know what time you will finish.

Again, it's a security company contracted by CATSA for pre board screeing in an airport. It should not be contracted out because it is again about customer service and security has little to do with the job.

Good benefits, management could be worse, the pay is ok I wish it was better, everything is seniority based ex. Shift bids...vac bids...the hours are horrible and there are a lot of rotten apples who are still employed because of the union.

The workplace was sufficent for the job required. The work envoirnment was friendly.

Unionized. Great starting pay for this line of work. Lots of overtime.

Good company to start at the oil sands. They dont pay much but good job securement if u want to work a long time

Standard security procedures, pleasant working environment with several crews. Shift work is rough on some days, but overall bearable.

• Trained and mentored fellow screening officers
• Assisted emergency personnel (police, bomb squad, paramedics) with incidents that resulted in aviation threats
• Collected data and completed operational shift log reports

8 - 12 shifts, learned little other than uses skills I trained for, management is typical of a ghetto industry.My co workers are fine but than I work alone, as we all do..boredom is the hardship and sleep deprivation. There is no enjoyable part when dealing with the lower rungs of the food chain

over disapointed in the company,very misleading,poor p/r, job title taken away and given to new hire, put on the back burner

I enjoyed bing among the people and being helpful to the society.
My manager and co-workers were are very nice. respectful.

I love the job in that it does protect the flying public. What I don't like is how management makes the good people go and lets the bad ones stay.

- answering a lot of phone calls
- lots of data entry (scheduling & payroll)
- sometimes the phones ring non-stop & sometimes it barely ever rings
- multi-tasking: answering phones & working different applications at the same time
- alarm dispatching to mobile security

- I do lots of partrols in the site I work in every day. I also prepare the daily reports at my site.
- I leanred how to be responsible for a job site without the supervision of other personels
- I work alone, so I don' t have any coworkers
- the hardes part of my job is that it is repetitive
- it is not physical work that makes you tired so that is – more... the most enjoyable part – less

I enjoyed working at this company. It was easy work, easy to learn if you pay attention. This company is willing to work with your schedule needs. However, management could use some improvement. No type of structure and unprofessional at times.

i loved my job in the beginning but lately things have been poor and lack of. Ive been here 13yrs and theres no room for me to grow. They say Im maxed out pay i make $15 from 13yrs. Its just time to go
