Nothing like that always complaining
Security officer (Former Employee) - West London, Greater London - 27 May 2021
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThey need to improve operation outside due to issues during public holiday when people can't get to work, they don't provide taxi for their staff's or asked mobile driver to pick security officer during covid-19 or Christmas holiday. Their controllers are rude for controllers they can call you anytime most of them are not honest and management don't see like that so they need to improve both internal and external.
Pros
No bring your food
Cons
12 hours

Bad place to work. The managers are so clueless
Security Officer (Former Employee) - London - 17 May 2022
One of the worst place to work and enjoy. The company don’t care about your health all they want is for you to be sent to different site to work. The site managers are so clueless and mannerless. They need to be retrained.

A Security Company that Cares
Key Account Manager (Current Employee) - Central London - 12 April 2022
Having worked at CIS for over two years I can state that they are clearly a company that cares about their staff. They do not always get things right but listen to criticism and will review their company practices where necessary. Work life balance is good and they demonstrate empathy and compassion.

If Auschwitz was based in London
Security Supervisor (Former Employee) - Greater London - 19 March 2022
I have tried to find something positive about CIS but unfortunately I cannot. The managers micromanage and the particular site I was based at had unachievable and unrealistic goals which would sometimes be changed on an hourly basis.

Security Officer. Controller. Supervisor. (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 4 December 2020
I worked for CIS Security for over 25 years, They were always over the top good to me. All the management are motivated to improve the service and improve conditions for the Security Officers. Never had any serious issues with pay. Always fair with Annual leave. Health benefit scheme available. A really well run company. Would recommend to anyone. It was a shame I had to leave.
Pros
Total peace of mind that you are working for a professional outfit.
Cons
none.

Security Officer (Former Employee) - lewisham hospital - 15 August 2020
CIS is a very good security company. Unfortunately, I was sent to the Lewisham hospital site. Nurses and Doctors are very good to staff. But the Security managers are crooks and have no respect for staff. Therefore there is mismanagement and poor communication. They are bullies and treat members of the public very badly. Any one that does good work is a threat to the managers. Very bad things the happening in that security management in the hospital.
Pros
Friendly doctors and nurses
Cons
Bad security managers only serving their own interest.

Productive and professional

Productive and professional family run business. No two days are the same due to the nature of the business. The hardest part of the job is travelling to and from work. The company provide ample benefits to all staff.

Very satisfied
Security Officer/Door Supervisor (Current Employee) - Hackney, Greater London - 24 March 2020
CIS SECURITY is very considerate when it comes to managing family life and work life. The management is good. They listen and considers the change of work patterns for their employees. CIS is the best security company I have worked for. They always appreciate and reward people for their good works. There are no two days that are the same in most of their sites..

The company is a family set up very sincere and articulate.
Concierge Supervisor (Former Employee) - London Borough of Hackney, Greater London - 23 February 2020
Having worked with a multi million renowned company like G4S, then tupe to a young family growing company, there was a lot of set backs due to their poor financial resources. For an inexperienced security officer,it will be easy to cope with their pace.
One need to go with the technological advancement.

Night Security Officer (Current Employee) - Barking and Dagenham, Greater London - 21 February 2020
Working for this company is not worst in the industry and it's also not the best. People have their own experiences which differ from man to man. It's really a matter of fate, I think.
