Cordant Services Employee Reviews

It's a good way to start in the security industry. Good amount of hours with overtime. But no progression. Plenty of sites in the UK if you wanted to work elsewhere.

Left to do work no hassle

Security Officer (Former Employee) - Luton - 7 February 2023

I would say just ok work, hassle free from above. Area manager was always helpful including office staff. 1 hours break, salary was always paid on time.

Pros

No hassle

Low pay

No Wonder They Lost Contracts

SIA Door Supervisor (Former Employee) - Wakefield - 30 June 2022

There was little or no involvement from the area manager. Workers were merely expected to turn up and get on with the job. I wouldn't repeat the error of working for them again!

Pros

None

Cons

Too much travel during lockdown.

Pretty decent

Security Officer (Former Employee) - Wellingborough, Northamptonshire - 8 June 2022

If you do what you’ve been hired to do you will have no problems with management tbh. Just like most other jobs you have to know who the bad apples are at management and avoid them as much as you can.

Pros

Job selection

Cons

Pay could be higher but it alright

Disgusting Company to work for

Security Supervisor (Former Employee) - Warrington - 1 May 2022

Whilst you are at work you are constantly being monitored by the site security manager via cctv and your always under threat of losing your job and your so called work mates stab you in the back. They give you a 0 hour contract and threaten you with if you don't work overtime we will cut your hours down to nothing and there is no work life balance and this is the same story of all security companies I know I've been around I think the best remedy for this is to get out of security work all together it is a joke

Pros

None

Low pay. No management involvement. Unhelpful and rude HR staff.

Typical Retail Security

Security Guard (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 25 January 2022

Basically after getting the job nobody bothers with you if you do job correctly. However if you don't there are some retail staff that will speak behind you to your manager.

Pros

You are on your own

Cons

Have to deal with rude and racist customers
