Pros

There aren't really any. A paycheck is nice, but they do not give raises, the only way you advance is with an associates degree, military or past or current law enforcement experience. So if you have none of that the most you'll get paid is from 8.5 to 10 dollars an hour.

Cons

Everything about this company is horrible. Management is a zoo. There is no communication you constantly have to stay on the office to get something done for you. Horrible company to work for. If you want to hate going to work come to G4S. The politics in this company is astounding. Constantly training people and not getting paid for it. The turnover is constant and the pay is horrible. Nothing is close to where you live. I drive 40 miles everyday to work if that gives you an idea. No overtime is allowed and employees are very difficult to get along with and supervisor are the worlds worst. Scheduling sucks don't plan on having a life with this company. They own you pretty much. That's one of the reasons there is so much turnover in this company. Higher ups gets bonus checks but regular employees get nothing. Benefits are decent but health insurance for a family is around 700 a month. However vision and dental are amazing. O did I mention they make you pay for your license every year which is 50 dollars, plus pay for your background when you get hired. Then you go through training which is also not paid I'm talking about the state required training 16 hours of your time not compensated. It's pretty much a permanent temporary job company.

Pros

Nice Uniforms. Thats it, but since they require a 20 word minimum, I have to count my words to 20.

Cons

With over 15 years of security experience, including armed security and supervisory experience, I was impressed by the website of G4S Secure Solutions. They really presented themselves as a very professional, well trained, well equipped security company. <br/>The illusions of how G4S Secure Solutions presented themselves ended there.<br/>For the last six months, I was assigned to a site that employed multiple employees with unstable mental behaviors and highly unprofessional levels of hostility, harassment and discourteousness within the security department and towards their customers that reported daily complaints by those who had to endure the behavior of G4S Security Officers. <br/>-This was reported to several supervisors.<br/>-This was reported to the Security Chief.<br/>-This was reported in a meeting at the district level.<br/>-This was reported in a three page detailed report and one hour long interview conducted at a corporate level, INCLUDING the corporate definitions of "Harassment", "Retaliation", and "Hostile Work Environment", all in which G4S (fraudulently) claims they have 'zero tolerance' for.<br/><br/>After six months of patience, G4S consistently refused to stand upon their false claims of "zero tolerance", in which no action was taken, and to the best of my knowledge, these mentally unstable individuals still harass people at the location I was assigned to. I say 'best of my knowledge', because in the final discovery of one of these mentally unstable security officers using company surveillance equipment against me with intentions of retaliation led me to immediately concluding my employment with the company. <br/>The truth I learned about G4$ $ecure solutions, yes, you guessed it, is that all they care about is profit. Not the safe environment of their employees, nor the harassment customers experience from G4$ mentally unstable security
