Interesting work place
Security Site Supervisor (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 14 February 2019
As I mentioned above, Meeting with new people is very interesting, residents are very friendly and nice. But overall, what I noticed is that there is no room to grow.
pretty chill job
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Thunder Bay, ON – 30 January 2019
not too bad of a day just wishing you could be living life outside rather been stuck at a particular place. team work is key. management can only do as much as they can but its never fair to everyone. good people just be careful of snakes. dealing with customers can be challenging at times.
Pros
good team makes great shift
Cons
working in inappropriate weather
Productive workplace
Cashier (Former Employee) – National Capital Region – 28 January 2019
They manage to train me well to do my job. And i learned how to consolidate and sorting of money. The management to ensure their employee to understand the Standard Operating Procedure of the company.
long days
Control Centre Operator (Former Employee) – Pickering, ON – 18 January 2019
Spent most of the days on the phone calling security guards to fill positions available. Management was hardly around hardest part of the job was getting employees to take positions where needed.
Poor management
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Peterborough, ON – 9 January 2019
Loved working in a hospital setting, I felt important to staff, and patients. My job meant something. Management at G4S was poor, the client service manager for G4S at the hospital was never around and incinerated with guards once a week if that. I was also fired for whatever reason they're not telling me three months and a week into my posting. This is just another company that values profit over its employees.
Pros
Free training
Cons
Long shifts and bad management
The job itself was grate
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Halifax, NS – 7 January 2019
Management an company outstandings where not so good enjoyed the job but not the company they where late with pay at times did not have benifits pervided on the correct set date and scheduling was all over the place.
Pros
Grate coworkers
Cons
Long hours an not enough pay
Worst
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 2 January 2019
The management themselves dont know the task and duties and they themselves are not aware of what kind of duties need to be performed on some sites. If you get injured no help or support from the company while you are on work. Staff memebers are rude and lack customer service. Scheduling department never picks the phone and if they do so they will not have the shifts. No advancement or future scope unless or until you are friend of the management or someone who is close to you inside the management.
worst place to work for

It was okay
Security Site Supervisor (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 13 December 2018
Everything else was okay except the Management. There were some flaws in their approach towards their employees.From 2008 to 2013 the company was flourishing. As soon as their management level was flawed, it looked really weak.
Pros
They do give you hours
Cons
Bad management
Flexible Security Job
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Guelph, ON – 8 December 2018
Its probably the best security place to work in due to the various options you have in getting a placement. You can choose mostly as to what site you would like to work in even If your new.
Pros
Flexible Hours
Cons
Long hours
Co-workers get you through
Security Guard (Full Time) (Former Employee) – London, ON – 12 November 2018
Management has no regard for labor laws or employee compassion. Ask for a day off months in advance and they always say no, force you to use vacation days.
Always asking for proof of days off called in (bereavement, sick, emergency, personal)
Company is a joke. Management talks behind your back. Union does nothing for you, absolutely nothing.
Co-workers were the only reason I kept going to work.
Ask for new uniforms, they take 7 months to get you any.
Terrible company. Promise raises, never happened.
G4S wonders why they can't hire or keep employees, maybe you should realize how terrible you treat people.
