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
