Pros

it's a job. The pay is reasonable but only if boosted by having additional cctv badge. and they employ anyone and everyone as long as they are sia qualified

Cons

long hours sometimes upto sixteen a day with with a five hour gap between shifts. no progression no communication between management no work life balance if you have a problem don't expect it to be sorted although it will be sorted eventually by moving you to another site rather than dealing with the cause don't plan anything outside of the job as they will change it at a moments notice with no reason uniform poor quality and very slow on replacing it but quick to pull you up on your appearance plenty of hours due to lack of staff so you can work six days to two weeks straight with no rest (the longest I have done is twenty two days ) you are just a pawn on a large securitas chess board with no training or support the company has taken on more sites than they can manage think g4s and London 2012 olmpics

Pros

The particular contract I work on is well paid. Job security as there are never enough officers to cover all the shifts. Little chance of be reprimanded for sickness etc.

Cons

Poor Management, Poor Communication, Poor Uniform Quality & Design, Securitas will hire anyone as long as they can find their way to the interview and then to site so in turn there are a lot of incompetent and lazy Security Officers out there, Poor Pay (Depending on the Contract), Zero chance of promotion unless you know the right people,
