Securityofficer (Former Employee) – Doncaster – 6 July 2018
I worked for this company . For about 6months plus was promised team leader or gate house which ever i wanted ... opted for gatehouse as it suited my needs . Went on holiday came back position filled teamleader filled i had 5 years gatehouse experience and 8 yrs as a teamleader ... more than any one on site . Passed over as i called it but the excuse given was you was on holiday we need dedicated people for these roles. Ok brushed it off wanted to no about the equipment i needed to do the job they wanted me to do .. buy yr own . Or wait till we get a work station assessment done 4mnth ltr still waiting put Grievance in swept it under carpet . So i did a sit down meeting with the team leader took notes gave them a photo copy signed . Dragged in office asking what did i think i was doing .. so my work life here was far from the best but mite just be me but they seem to want people who they can control and dont like it when you think for your self or outside the box to get work done . Its their way or no way. Unless tgey take the idea and change it to make it look like they came up with it. Amazon work for them direct if you can far better looked after. Good luck if you work for them icts that is i no that not all areas are the same it mite be just that i had a lazy site manager or line manager area manager that didnt like people that new more than them or i didnt fit in the click ... yes sir no sir motion . But its my opinion on my time their . Recomend no
Pros
Cant think of any
Cons
Long hours leave hand uniform back or loose 50quid
Amazon sites
Security officer (Former Employee) – Liverpool, kirkby – 4 July 2018
Working for Amazon sites they think they can bully you and talk down to you because they are on more money staff are ok supervisors are good lads girls Manager's are Nasty to the security.
Pros
Good canteen & Facilities
Cons
Good work is not recognised with Managers
Don’t do it
Security Officer (Former Employee) – West Midlands – 20 June 2018
Worst Management I’ve ever experienced, particularly at the Amazon sites; complete disregard for H&S and employees, daily threats of dismissal, verbal abuse and intimidation from managers, firing of staff left right and centre, unfair treatment between employees, always short staffed .. the list goes on, definitely not worth £8 an hour. However, If you enjoy being treated like a dog then this is the job for you!

Not a fun place to work
Security Officer (Current Employee) – Peterborough – 4 June 2018
Since ICTS took the contract on tings have got worse, management poor you never get answers. Now the say we have less holidays to take don't come here for a job you are taken for a ride.
No support for newbies
Passenger Service Agent (Former Employee) – Bristol, Bristol – 21 May 2018
I was part of ten trainees that started at Bristol Airport with ICTS... and after a few months only two remained employed.
After an extensive (and well structured) two weeks of initial training, things quickly went downhill when thrown into the security hub itself. On-job training was supposed to be provided and maintained by supervisors... but unsurprisingly they were far too busy or just uninterested in providing ANY support to new members of staff.
I was shouted down for providing constructive feedback, and for pointing out delays / inconvenience the passengers were having to endure.
Oh, and six hours standing without being allowed to have a break (even for bathroom!) was a thing most of us didn't agree with.
Cannot really recommend, unless you encounter superiors that actually care about those working under them.

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.
Pros
None
Cons
No help
Security experience
Security Officer (Former Employee) – Sunderland – 17 April 2018
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!!!!!!!
Pros
None to say

Everything about the company
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...
