busy but friendly atmosphere
I work in the Cash and valuables in transit section at G4s . I am currently responsible for the delivery and collection of cash and valuables whilst working to a high level of security. Due to a varied workload there are many deadlines which I must work to such as time windows and customer requirements. Therefore successful prioritization of my workload is essential.
Open minded
Working as an employee, as of date, is still a learning curve for me. A massive company with various contract depend on your employment. This review is based only on my own experience, nearly seven years of joining the business. Still a learning curve. 50/50
Pros
Salary
Cons
Not sure
Broken toe & tore finger tendant
Ended up breaking my big toe and a tenant in my finger and G4S basically let my job go without me knowing about it. Ended up going into work one morning to find out I was no longer needed. Then I had difficulties getting back my ID.

Very ignorant employees unable to understand policies and procedures especially supervisors
A company that doesn’t care about employees and always involved in tribunal cases! The legal team is formed by stubborn and ignorant people misleading the executive directors
Bad company
If you’re face don’t fit they get rid they made up a bunch of lies to get me out done a really bad investigation and then sacked me after me getting letters of commendation from the company taking to court and won a case against them be very careful with them

Working with G4S
Busy day's, most day's were and work would continue into the night via your phone.
The hardest part of the job is being on call 24 / 7, or it seemed that way, the best part was on event days when you were "on the ground" working closely with your staff.

Overall disappointed
I've never had a problem with pay or admin. Training is good. Mandatory and other optional training is provided well.
I do have a problem with a lack of overall management. There is a general air of slackness and nothing is enforced.
Policies are in place for grievances but in practice are simply ignored.

The company is good to working for

I was on different events and conferences starting with Olympic Games in 2012 and last 2 years and few months I was on Jobcentre contract with them different locations and meet lots of different people
Disqusting Attitue Towards Security officers /Employees by Security Managers
Unbelieavle behaviours and attitude towards emploees by their Security Managers. Since when it's lawful to threat an employee with a loss of their jobs, if they don't do as they told to? Since when it's lawful to prevent an employee from getting rightfully accepted position within the company? Since when it's lawful to promote inequality by giving some offers pay rise and not for some others?
Have you ever applied for a job, then called for interview, you are then advised you were successful and followed by contract and start date confirmed? Sounds great right, but two days before your start date you are told they can no longer take on you board due to unexpected circumstanses? This manager has his brother working there and helping only his own country man to get shifts and contracts to work at good rate sites; i believe he is taking bribes from them!
This manager needs to be taken to deciplinary and apologies to members of staff he has wronged! It's not only me but there are dozens I have meet stating the same thing! Shame on you!
HR is totally useless. When you have a manager like this managing high profile assignments with such a attitute towards the members of staff you think clients of yours will renew the contract? You have lost a few massive contracts because of this guy and he has been reported multiple times for the same behaviour and attitute towards the staff yet you decided to defend this person. Shame on you as yet he is still remaining to work as a manager still unable to ackowledge and let hi get away with his unacceptable behaviour.

Pros
Uniform, Some Shifts
Cons
Everything: Bullying in workpace, inequality, prevention of promotion, favouriysm, defensive pr.ck managers!
Don't work for them !!!
If you want to work then just remember you will cover every other person. The s**t get it easy and the workers get it s**t. Only 24hrs in a day and they want you to work 25 of them
Never anyones fault just yours.
The company will use their powers to make you say YES. And forget about have a family life.

Pros
The real workers on the road !!
Cons
Work load, times, pay, lack of working staff
Work experience G4S
In general the prison service is a good environment to work within, general staff are good and work well together, however, sad thing is senior management team show no willingness to interact with officers, but have a bigger long-standing Relationship with prisoners.
