Awful company to work for. The mantra they love to preach during their "briefings" is along the lines of 'if you're unsure about something, ask'- but in reality, when doing that, you're spoken down to and condescended by supervisors and the management wielding foul attitudes.

Work shifts can be up past 8hrs, and they'll forget to give you a break anywhere along the period. They'll also bus you out to shifts, and forget to stand you down from your position and almost leave you on-site when it comes time to go home.

The staff who hold down in the office issuing out shifts are also awful. Numerous times i've bared witness to racist remarks being made from them regarding their mostly jobcentre-found recruits. Their clique of office staff also pry into the personal business of their recruits. "Oh he works for X other company" "They're not doing X Y or Z" "They know so'n so people".

They love to claim the job offers "On site Training", which is their cop-out wording of throwing you at a position with no useful information, then you guessed it- talking to you like less of a person when you don't have a clue what to do. They'll leave you in secluded locations in the downpouring rain, no radio, no break, no supervisor to check-in on you, and no way to get the attention of anybody should you need help. This is in light of them telling you "If you need any assistance, contact a supervisor". Well, there never is a Supervisor to be seen, and you can't leave your position less you want to be stood down and sent home without pay. Go figure.

Payment for shifts is a minefield. A lot of sites they work on, they won't pay SIA holders SIA wages. And a lot of the time they'll even mess-up signing people in for shifts and not paying them for that day they showed up. I've personally had shifts stricken from my payroll under "overpayment" being listed on the payroll as the excuse, which was a lie. When this was pointed out, the best they could do was just pay me it back NEXT payday. This has happened numerous times.

And then there's the times where they randomly seem to decide to ignore their emails for months on-end. I went for 4 months emailing their office to who's usually supposed to give me shifts. And never got a reply once within that 4 month period.

They don't like you working for other companies while you're with them, but meanwhile they'll-
* Treat you like less of a person.
* Fail to give you enough hours.
* Fail to pay you your SIA wage for being SIA on shifts.
* Fail to pay you for your worked hours.
* Fail to supply you with the support and training.

They couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery. Innocent people were ejected from the concert on bogus pickpocketing claims. When I asked for evidence, they showed me a video of me protesting my own removal. It looks less like security and more like a quota system for kicking out paying customers.

A dishonest company who will go to any extent to get what they want.
From lying to clients, lying to staff, lying in Employment Tribunals.

I was a senior manager for this company. Things became tricky for me after I spoke out about my director using class A drugs on a clients premises.

HR stayed away never wanted to investigate at all until after an ET was in the process of commencing.
A half hearted investigation hearing only what they want to hear.

Since then I've received malicious and threatening messaged from this said director which has been reported.

However what was the ultimate shame is that the bigger bosses allowed this all to go south and not deal with the underlying problem.

During my time here I've first hand witnessed people being fitted up in HR processes as well as company bosses lying to clients and so on.

The company is corrupt at its core and they use people for as long as they can until they can't. Then simply just move onto the next without any care of the effects they've had on people's lives.

Liars, corrupt & zero Accountability.

I was invited to be interviewed by a gentleman man named mr Will from HR department of securigroup . I was really excited until the moment he started questioning my dress with arrogance and negativity attitude without even saying hello. His attitude summarized the the image of the company.

stay away if you have at least 1 iq. the company will soak you up like a wet sponge and then rinse you completely dry. they'll even chuck you in a tumble dryer if they can get an extra bit of work out of you.

they made me work 23 hours in 1 day. my wife left me, so now i got a new husband I'm currently homeless and writing this review from jobcentre plus. i get £20 a week from universal credit. i actually now identify as non-binary because of the trauma i dealt with here.
