Pros

None I can think of. Easy work boring.

Cons

Wages are pathetic. They don't care about the guards cos there never promoted so morale is terrible. No training to get qualifications so you can get on better pay. Payslips never on time and if you ring managment they say they ring back but never do

Waited weeks upon weeks for wages (they pay monthly, it's retarded) and finally, I was paid half of what I'm owed.

Pros

Two free lunches, over two days and got to work outside which was nice.

Cons

Full of dubs, if I never hear a dublin accent again it will be too soon. Pay monthly (why exactly??? It's stupid) and when they do pay wages, they don't pay what is owed. In my case they paid half. Too many old managers there on a power trip that haven't a clue how to do a good job.

Pros

Great Hours, Pay More than the Minimum Wage, Management are easy to get on with, No power tripping.

Cons

Some of the employees or former employees on here are lazy and incompetent so they look to blame others for their lack of progress. If they kept their heads up and mouths shut they would have ample opportunity to progress
