Worst job ever!

Pros

I cannot find one good thing to say about this company.

Cons

I knew I was in trouble on my first day. The entire organization was completely dysfunctional; lacking in communication and focus. There was overt backbiting between the British and American management teams. The majority of female employees held outdated "secretary" positions, and were viewed as an insignificant lower species. The overall environment was gloom and doom, us against them. I can honestly say that this was my worst job ever!

Pros

Might get a decent post that's close to home and works with your schedule (if you're lucky). I was fortunate enough to work Monday - Friday dayshift with weekends and holidays off (client was closed holidays and didn't require coverage). Field management, while being constantly short-staffed and lacking sufficient quality guards, were generally fair. A few had a tendency to micromanage and didn't care if you had other guards that would be late or no-show.

Cons

They will not pay you out properly when you leave G4S; took them 15 days to pay me out. At least as CA labor law is concerned, if you give at least 72 hours notice they have to pay you out (pay, PTO buyout) on the day you leave. At-will employment works both ways. No advancement unless you're former military or retire LEO.

Pros

Very easy work. If you are a people person it's very easy to make connections.

Cons

Pay is poor and based on the contract of the employer. Pay system consistently messes up. You have to pay for your own advanced training which is a requirement and the benefits are minimal. Very high turnover rate. No room for advancement or promotion
