Pros

it's a job. The pay is reasonable but only if boosted by having additional cctv badge. and they employ anyone and everyone as long as they are sia qualified

Cons

long hours sometimes upto sixteen a day with with a five hour gap between shifts. no progression no communication between management no work life balance if you have a problem don't expect it to be sorted although it will be sorted eventually by moving you to another site rather than dealing with the cause don't plan anything outside of the job as they will change it at a moments notice with no reason uniform poor quality and very slow on replacing it but quick to pull you up on your appearance plenty of hours due to lack of staff so you can work six days to two weeks straight with no rest (the longest I have done is twenty two days ) you are just a pawn on a large securitas chess board with no training or support the company has taken on more sites than they can manage think g4s and London 2012 olmpics

Pros

Very kind staff and takes care of veterans. A lot of opportunities to get extra hours and shifts.

Cons

I suppose the only con is not a lot of overtime since high Table of Organization (T/O).

Pros

The only thing that I enjoyed while working here was the team that I had the privilege to work with. My employment was on a tech team which was a vendor with a larger Tech company. I was able to network and meet some amazing people that allowed myself to connect with others in the tech industry.

Cons

My experience with this company was extremely disappointing. I raised serious workplace concerns related to disability-related treatment, harassment, and overall employee support through internal reporting channels, but I did not feel those concerns were handled with the urgency, fairness, or accountability they deserved. The issues continued for a significant period of time, despite repeated attempts to report them properly. After I provided additional details that were requested as part of the internal reporting process, I was removed from my client assignment. In my opinion, the timing and handling of that decision felt retaliatory, especially because it happened after I raised concerns and participated in the company’s reporting process in good faith. I was initially told that another placement would be pursued, and there was communication for several weeks. However, I was ultimately separated from the company under a “Non-Placement Termination.” The experience left me feeling unsupported and gave me serious concerns about how employee complaints, workplace concerns, and follow-through are handled.
