Pros

Worked with some great people. Actual job good fun and very interesting. A different situation every day. Able to get out and about because not stuck in an office every single day.

Cons

Lack of support from all of management. Huge blame culture. Low morale. Inadequate personal safety measures in place. Wholly disciplinarian structure with no room for discretion or reason.

Pros

Everything was spot on working for Events with G4S. Been so many places, seen so many faces it's just given me more life experience if anything!! Management was great, the staff were amazing (most of them my good friends now).

Cons

Being away from family for a week or in some cases four was a little hard, but mum cooked anything I wanted when I got back - so happy days :) Shifts were pretty long (12-16hours in most cases) but we managed to make time fly with the colleagues...

Pros

Entry to some great events and zero hours contract means you can choose to work or not. Often fairly easy work. You can get your SIA licence training through the company.

Cons

Long hours sometimes some very boring work and dealing with people that can be difficult. Usually outside in all weather and you might be stood at a gate for 12 hours. Breaks aren't long and all for minimum wage.
