Absalute one sided managment, they all suck up to the director of operations
Security Officer (Current Employee) – Warrington, Cheshire – 19 April 2018
Since the operations manager left in the North West everything went down hill very quickly, the support is not there anymore, it's put up or shut up with the with the supposedly people in charge, any problems you have won't be sorted.

No help
Security experience

My first security officer job in which I enjoyed and learned everything needed for my posts and job title. Great relationships with clients and other security officers and was a well like staff member.
Job is easy if it's the Amazon contract
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Belfast, County Antrim – 27 March 2018
The job is easy if it's the Amazon contract but if it's Belfast international airport don't bother. The place is run by people that shouldn't even be in a supervisor role people that can't apply common sense. And there are little clicks that used to work in the airport that think they are better than everyone else.And there is a lot of favoritism that goes on.If you really need a job then crack on but there are a lot of better security companies out there.
Pros
Paid lunch
Cons

Security Guard (Former Employee) – Rugeley, Staffordshire – 26 March 2018
typical day: sat waiting near the phone waiting to be called in for work.
what i learnt nothing, just avoid working for them.
management: always changing rules, very horrible, use bullying tactics and have no clue what they doing.
working in amazon the job itself is brain dead. you will learn nothing you are on zero hour contract there is no job security.
shift are 12 hours long meaning no time for family or friends.
do not apply for this company!!!

Great place to work
Security Compliance Officer (Former Employee) – Bristol, Bristol – 22 March 2018
Loved this job, only left for health reasons.if I could go back I would. Every day is different, hardest part of the job is getting up on a early shift. Great place to work.
think twice!
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Dunstable, Bedfordshire – 13 March 2018
The worst company to work for - you are subcontracted and working for ICTS in amazon essentially you have no rights. Amazon decide whether they want you or like you. if they don’t - it's game over.
Think twice before applying for a job with ICTS.
Often you're expected to work through your lunch break....no sick pay, no benefits that are actually beneficial!

Bad place for vetting

Now I haven't got a job and I have a baby wich they knew I'm currently looking for a job again but they shouldn't of got rid of us the second time if it was there fault!!!!!!!

Wrong place to work
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Tilbury, Essex – 9 February 2018
The management is rubbish, is a wrong company to work for if you want to grow in your career.
Institutional Racism is on the high side in the company.
Officers from an ethnic minority are treated with so much disrespect. You can't voice out your right without being sacked mostly in their Amazon contracts.
My sincere advice, wrong company to work for, mostly if it's their Amazon contract stay clear it's a waste of time you will end up getting depressed and frustrated.
This recent pay rise is a trap stay clear...

Great prospects and progression!
Security Agent (Current Employee) – London Heathrow Airport, Greater London – 30 January 2018
Have worked for ICTS UK Ltd in London Heathrow Airport for 10+ years and progressed up the ranks.
Hard work is always recognised and rewarded with thanks.
All the staff are motivating and supportive, from security agents, to supervisors, managers, and senior directors.
The working environment is always busy, yet positive on a day-to-day basis.
Shifts and holidays are well managed and flexible wherever possible, taking in to account the operational constraints.
A great company to work with, who consider personal growth. I have had the opportunity to learn many skills and expand my knowledge of the industry by being put forward for many training courses which encompass management and leadership.

Progression, respect, flexibility
Eventful
Security Guard (Current Employee) – Bristol – 28 January 2018
Working in the airport is a exciting job, I just do not think its acceptable to be paid to little when you are doing such a serious job! Need to consider the pay, because of the risk we take just by being in that building.
Pros
Good Shift Pattern
Cons
Pay
productive
Security Assistant (Former Employee) – Distrito de Lisboa – 18 January 2018

Pros
busy

short work hours
Couldn't organise a booze up in a brewery!!!
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Dunfermline, Fife – 16 January 2018
Long hours (12), same £7.80 rate of pay for day shift and night shift! So called teammates would backstab you, Supervisors didn't know the meaning of supervision, rules changed daily.
If Area Managers and Senior Supervisors don't get their acts together, this company will go down the pan and I'll gladly be the one to flush them!!

Lower end of the profession
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Bardon Coalville – 25 December 2017
Anyone with any ambition should not apply to this group. No proper site instructions, no advancement opportunities unless you're rude and aggressive with the line staff, drivers and HGV delivery staff.
The ONLY reason that you would even consider working for ICTS is, that you'll receive plenty of extra shifts that you haven't agreed to, which balances the fact that the pay is not good.
Due to the fact that the staff turn over is high, and due to the excessive sickness problems (mostly due to tiredness), you'll probably have a secure position if you can work with bullying, bigotted and often beligerant work colleagues.

Everything else....
Racist company
Vlogger YouTube (Former Employee) – Coalville, Leicestershire – 24 December 2017
Worst Company ever, needs to be shut down and questioned on equality and diversity. No long term goals for employees just more money for the executives. You are not working with professionals.
Pros
None
Cons
Too many to list.
