Pros

Onboard training was overly long, but they did pay you for your time. If you did not have previous experience, you were introduced to what G4S expected from you. Each one of my work sites were pleasant, some more than others, but they all had safe working environments.

Cons

G4S should have created a training program for supervisors. It was obviious that some site superviors felt threatened when someone with more experience was put on their team. Supervisors needed to be developed and mentored, not given the position without oversight.

Pros

Good management and team within department. Work load is not stressful and do not take work problems home at the end of the day.

Cons

Redundancy terms are minimal and do not back up their claims of a caring culture, neither does their lack of clear communication about plans for your redundancy. Division of labour between departments often makes resolving issues tedious and almost impossible if you do not already know who to speak to.
