Same thing all day standing as security

Security Officer (Full-time) (Former Employee) - London - 28 July 2023

Pay is alright. Holidays approval is totally a mess. I applied for Holidays 4 months before the holiday date. With all reminder and follow up. At the 11th hours (a week) to proceed, my holiday was turn down despite that I have purchased a travel ticket to visit my age parents abroad. It was ridiculous and frustrating hence, I resigned my appointment. If you chose to work for Cordant sorry.

Pros

Not at all

Cons

Long hours

It pays the bills.

Security Officer (Former Employee) - London - 9 June 2023

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.

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
