Stay Away!
Security Team Manager (Former Employee) - Barnsley - 21 July 2023
Cordant was by far the most unprofessional company I had the misfortune of being employed by.The work/life balance is nonexistent, the managers are useless and they will not back you in any way when clashing with clients - instead they will just unlawfully terminate your employment and hope that it all goes away.A truly horrendous company and one whom I can only hope goes out of business in the very near future.

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

Cons
Have to deal with rude and racist customers

Plenty hours if you want them.
Security Officer (Current Employee) - Falkirk - 25 July 2021
Pretty standard security role. One of the better management teams I have worked for, although haven't seen much of the manager due too the current pandemic, they are always easily reachable. The only real problem is the lack of free time due to the amount of hours worked. I have never worked for a company who approve annual leaves but don't actually cover all of them and have too call you in to cover your own holiday.
Pros
Simple Job and plenty of hours available.
Cons
Not enough time off.

You are just the number to them and the control is the worst if you get sick you will be bullied by them. The management never listens and will ignore.
Pros
Flexible shifts
Cons
Hypocrite staff.
