G4s Wackenhut is a horrible security company to work for. In specific the livonia office in Michigan is a disaster. They are a company that do not respect the employees' rights or dignity. No matter how good you are, or try to be if it comes the time to screw you up they will be more than willing to do it. Those two women, Ms. Dennisse Pollington and "Sue" are evil witches that enjoy getting guards fire without any substantial or merit reason and then fight their unemployment benefit, so they won't collect a dime.They are disgusting, dishonest people. Hope one day they'll get alittle bit of their own crap. Remember:" what goes around comes around." They have don't wrong to many people. Favoritism, labor harrasment, deception and unfairness are trademarks of this crappy company that should be out of bussiness. Just Google wackenhut complaints and you 'll see the extensive bad reputation they have. I will sincerely advise not to ever dare to apply to this company, because in the long you may regret it.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I currently work for G4S and I have to agree with you. It seems systemic within their organization to use, abuse, and show no concern for their employees. They didn't give us not 1 paid sick day, no personal days, and they try to make you work beyond your scheduled shift if they don't have anyone to come in even though managers should actually be responsible to fill a post if an officer doesn't want to or can't stay, but they bully folk into staying beyond their assigned shift.
I've also noticed that they hire a bunch of ex-military or ex-cops that seem to have not yet been able to make the transition from those positions to their civilian positions in corporate America. Many of them are aggressive, unfriendly, unprofessional, disrespectful, and just plain ignorant. Our site manager is an ex-police detective and to have someone in a position like that who sends out emails that are short and riddled with all sorts of errors is ridiculous. How can someone who's typing 2-3 sentence emails have 5 misspelled words in such a short email.
I 'm really seriously think trying to find/contact a union for security professionals, because we should be treated better than we are. We walk around there on pins and needles because we are so afraid that if say the least little thing that they don't like we'll be either moved to a post that they know is about to close or picked on until you quit or they find a reason to fire you. It's definitely not a pleasant work environment.
I begged for the day that another company would come in and take-over the contract that we were working when I was working for Guardsmark and now I regret getting what I asked for. This company treats it's workers like they are machines. From not wanting to hear that you can't make it to work due to icy roads or snow, to not giving a damn about the fact that you're sick or have a sick kid at home. This company is cold and are only concerned with the bottom-line...that dollar! A union is definitely needed in an environment like this, but the workers would probably be to scared to join because they'd fear retaliation.
Don't let the Evil smartasses of wackenhut to fool you . Even if they send you to work at a unioniozed site you really won't be protected. WHY? . Because wachy hot or G$S Wackeunhut is not an unionized company itself. What I ment is that they may force to enroll in a so call security guards union to keep or get at contract, for example at an auto plant if is an unionized client. SEE HOW DIRTY THEY ARE?, in reality you are not protected because you are employed by Wackenhut, not the client. That is the way the fool you on that. You will still be an employee at will with no rights that they can mistreat, fool and fire at any time for any reason. Then, they will be so evil that will fight your unemployment benefit to death so after getting fire you don't receive a dime. They are a bunch of ###s, the worst of America.
Mr. Jackson
I agree with you Mr. Jackson. G4s Wachenhut do you like that, specially with the auto plants security contracts in Michigan. They will force you to join a security guard Union but you are not really protected. This is just so they can keep the contract. Since G4s Wacky Hot is not an unionized company, just an, "EMPLOYER AT WILL", it is just to fool you up and take money from your paycheck. Management, a buch of crooks evils.
I can agree with this. I was hired back in August of 2012, and still currently with them sadly... I was also sent to go work for the "sandy job" but when I was sent back home they had me waiting for a site to open... When one did open I was only working for about 24 hours a week.. Finally they had put me at my full time hours and more. Ok I have been with this company for almost 5 or 6 months and since then I have been given to 2 write ups one was totally false statement and the other one was about me being rude to a lady in the New Mexico area main office... Well I wasn't she had told me one story and they she stated that she never said that plus I never called. This company said that full benefits will accepted after 3 months if employment... Well recently I was attack at my job site when I try to call my site supervisor he didn't answer and pretty much called me 2 and half hours before my shift the next and saying I had to just bare with my injury... So finally I was given 2 days off to go check and when I was being check the main office called the doctor office saying not to treat me... That I had to driver over an hour to go see their doctor when I was pretty much blind... So I had to use my own personal insurance because vision is not a game to play with... I'm still waiting for 8 hours of training I did... Never got paid for them... That was back in August! If anyone wants to apply for this company I highly state you don't! They are rude and very unprofessional! Starting with the main office you will be hired at to the site supervisor to the rest... You will be wasting your time applying! I was told great things about this company... The only I have seen is nothing but bad things with this company...
Im serious and i work for this company in winnipeg canada they are same here too. They dont care for their employees and they want employees to do everytjing for them for free and moreover they send guards to all sites without any training or licenses this company should be banned from doing any business in canada anyways they are loosings alot pf their contracts. Miss tanice who is hr manager for saskatchwen and manitoba i wanna laugh cause she is worth nothing an unqualified person can do a better job then her she does nothing that hr should do but does every other stuff puppet named darryl is working in the office dont know his job too gets ### from every site ive just started hating this company they put to at risk to die and they call it labour laws wow just an advice dont work for this company im going to quit too
I agree that G4S is a terrible company to work for. In the first month of employment they dragged their feet about when training would begin, I have not received my license from the state and don't believe they have even submitted that paperwork. They offerred me a payrate that I accepted and then I found out later they are paying me less and won't stand by the inital offer. I didn't get paid for the first three weeks of work I did. Me & 18 other employees had to wait a week after our scheduled pay day to be paid. At least one person from my training class quit because of it. This has been an awful experience and it hasn't even been 90 days yet.
I agree brother in your beautiful expressed opinion. The Worst Company in the World is "G4S Securit Qatar)... Once, I go back to my home country Nepal my destination will be to stop recruiting good and honest manpower of Nepal. Thanks .. we should keep up our best fight to get our goal. Thanks once again.
