No Integrity at all
Custom Protection Officer (Former Employee), Virginia Beach, VA – January 30, 2013
Pros: temporary job
Cons: no permanment job
I worked for this company and found it to be lacking in loyalty. They constantly move you around from job to job. Promotes a lot of young people who are arrogant and rude to older workers. I found there managers(Majors) are thick and thieves and never keep there promise to you. They want you 100%, but don't give a darn about you. Military Retirees beware – more... don't waste your time. – less

Why G4S is the BEST

I loved working with Wackenhut ,because they treat everyone with respect . they show employee how much they care for them and there family. Hardest part of job was getting up at 4:00 in the morning but only I started it was great and I love they will cross train you also .The biggest mistake I made was not leaving when the company left honeywell. Hope – more... you all will give me another chance to be on a winning TEAM G4S Wackenhut.Thanks in Advance for a Second Chance. – less

G4s Wackenhut-secure solutions/horrible
Human Resources (Former Employee), Detroit, Michigan – June 27, 2012
A horrible company to work for. A culture of "mobbing", labor harrasment. Unfair labor practices and mistreatment to employees, no loyalty at all. They have more complaints at the departments of Labor and lawsuits than the KKK. My sincere and honest advise, rule it out as a prospective employeer.

You must have been terminated for cause. I've worked for this company for a couple of years and found it to be one of the fairest companies out there. The employees that I see that don't like this company are usually the ones that did something wrong and got terminated.
