Pros

Some of the benefits of this company is that as a part-time employee I still get the opportunity to take advantage of their 401K, investment opportunities, and I get to work at different work sites.G4S also partners with a company that helps to support their employees' with personal challenges. Kind of like family health and wellbeing. A steady paycheck is possible. And working here has opened other doors. With other companies. They are pretty flexible with your schedule.

Cons

Some of the cons would be G4S doesn't communicate very well. Chance for advancement is slim. However time off is tough to get approved.

Pros

Good company and been working for G4S for 10 years. You get to work different areas, environments and get to know good people.

Cons

They need to get more sites. Try giving more opportunities to officers to move up the latter. If someone wants to move to transportation or as a CPO you have to meet G4S standard qualification. How about people that have been working here why can you exempt it and give officer the opportunity.

A Really BAD Company.

Upscale security officer

Business Outlook

Pros

Absolutely NONE !!! There are no good things to say !! They hire officers only that will except minimum wages to start. Then they use and promote without recognizing others with many years of service and knowledge. So if anyone likes that type of profesionalism than this is the job for you.

Cons

This is a Company that hires Managers from other fields and not from SECURITY. They have no clue about Security. They treat the OFFICERS who are the breadwinners like garbage and show no VALUE our respect for their officers. Perfect for the ones who strive on CHEAP !!
