Overworked and underpaid

Security Guard (Former Employee) - Runcorn - 25 August 2022

They are that short staffed you are made to work 12 days without a day off then on your day off they pester you to work, you have no work life balance as you are always expected to work, and as you are just a sub contractor you are given all the workload whilst the in house guard sits there doing nothing.

Since Ultimate Sold the company to Noonan they have not come and introduced themselves to the old ultimate staff they’re all based in Belfast and Dublin you can’t get through to payroll everything is done by emails you feel like your talking to rebots and all your correspondence emails are auto responses, wages is either on time or a day or 2 late management have no clue what they’re doing a bunch of cowboys uniform takes months to arrive, bonuses are paid late, you can’t get any training as it’s down to budget and no training officers everything is subcontracted

Pros

Hourly rate

Cons

Everything

Former Security Guard

Security Guard (Former Employee) - Belfast, County Antrim - 3 January 2019

Disgraceful, especially when you have to calm down a Security MANAGER over the phone from swearing and blinding at you over shifts discussed, cant organise anything. Plenty of other security work out there, do not limit yourself to these clowns.

Pros

Work within other companies with very nice people

Cons

Management (If that is what you it)

good fun

Security Guard (Former Employee) - Belfast, County Antrim - 10 March 2017

i enjoyed working here it gave me a good experience on working in security as it was a busy place to work. I never had any trouble with any of my work shifts, and managers where always very flexible on giving me the times I needed off work, as well as providing me with enough hours that I needed.
