There is no typical day as you never know what will happen. Working in the stream we do you have to run your personal team, run the team on shift with you and have to be aware of the public we deal with daily. Anything can happen and does. So you have your regular reports to run, PDR,one to ones,investigations, disciplinaries to carry out. Out into – more... the field to cary out customer cares visit or obs on your crew. You may have to go and assist with a job your self due to risk. You may have a car breakdown or stuck in bad weather, a crew member being attacked or robbed. A crew could be concerened about a subject hey have visited and you need to lace a duty of care call to the police.
A shift really can be the unknown and this is what I love.

During the time I worked for G4S I really enjoyed the job role. Was a relaxed environment which I believe makes you more productive within your job duties.
I enjoyed working within a team and working within the public sector in the job centres.
Would like to get back with G4S as I do think they are organised and make life as easy as possible on employees.
I – more... have to say working with the public is not always an easy job but I do enjoy it as it is all I have ever done.
Got on really well with my colleagues and management and still keep in contact.
Was a shame only had a temporary contract as was a very good job! – less

RATHER NOT SAY way to much lies about the company
your left to your own devices
managment was poor not interested in the work force only there own jobs
co-works left to do what ever they wanted
hardest part of the job was turning up when you know you have no backup
has to be going home

A typical day at work would involve being around thousands of new customers who are willing to embrace the experience and venue. This always allows me to be committed to helping them with any queries and assist as best as I can. I would always be more than punctual making sure I am ready for work and ready to commit to the daily targets.

I believe – more... that the best attribute I have learned has been my increase of confidence in being able to communicate with confidently with both customers and colleagues. In addition to this, I believe that being part of a team has undoubtedly assisted my confidence because we follow the aims and daily targets to get through the day successfully.

I believe that the hardest part of the job is dealing with unsatisfied customers because with accordance with the aims of the business; I feel responsible for their misery. To resolve such an issue, my acquired asset of being comforting and seeing it from their perspective would always make me go the extra mile to offer a helping hand to our customers.

The most enjoyable part of working for G4S is meeting new people. From the new customers who enter the venue, to the new colleagues, working here has given me a fantastic opportunity to work in an organization that is customer centric and values its employees. Being around thousands of new people has allowed me to heighten my customer service skills, confidence and ability to work in a team. – less

Your seen as a number and that is it. Unobtainable targets set for bonus scheme, not enough hours in the day to meet weekly bonus target. Also don't expect this to be a full time career. It's a dying industry meter reading.

The working environment was good. The staffs were helpful and cooperative. Similarly, the shifts given were also good which was not burdensome.

I was working as meter reader for just 6 week contract I enjoy to work with g4s but they don't have vacance

Usual shifts at Football games. Gained skills in crowd management. Good management and good spirited co-workers. Hardest part of the job is learning to ignore the comments of a rowdy football crowd, but it is not a problem. Most enjoyable part is the good interactions with the crowd and the co-workers.

long day
working long hours
enjoyable part was the olympics

I WORK AT HEARTLANDS HOSPITAL WHERE.I DELIVER DOMESTIC TO THE WARDS .I LOVE MY JOB BECAUSE I LIKE MEETING PEOPLE ROUND THE HOSPITAL.

Very good wages and great friendly staff for the most part but managers are incompetent and let a lot of bullying go on by their senior staff members right under their noses with no consequences when reported, they also promote a family friendly environment and then do not follow through on this. The job is very interesting and you learn loads of new – more... skills on a daily basis although the perks of the job are unfortunately out weighed by the cons. – less
