G4S reviews

Dreadful pay and does not compete in this sector, other companies pay much much better. No breaks on 12 hour shifts which is totally illegal but management does not care and does not rectify. Wait until a employee is found dead then something might happen. You are given overtime shifts and then these are cut with no notice and often you are not informed. Local managers are thicker than mince, lads who have worked their way up the ladder but received zero training in management. They don't answer phone-calls, don't reply to emails, they lie and lie and lie, and just bury their head in the sand and hope a problem will go away. Their booking system javelin is a complete disaster as more often than not you cannot log onto it. G4S is just one of the worst companies I have every worked for.

Due to incompetence of management on site things aren't running as effectively and smoothly as could otherwise be.
