I cannot use any of the words here that come to my mind when I think about when I used to work for G4S!!!! - Security Officer G4S Employee Review

Pros

The only "pro" about working for G4S is that you get paid...... .....sometimes (if you're lucky) they'll even pay you the correct amount on the correct day! (!!)

Cons

No career prospects. Little contact with managers and supervisors. Very hard to get holidays authorized. (Among many other excuses, I even once got told that I couldn't have any of my holiday allowance as there was no budget left to pay for the cover!!!) Management are reluctant to order uniform and/or PPE for guards. I ended up buying my own even though it was in my contract that they were to provide it!!
