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.

Company is a bunch of Gangsters.
Security Guard (Former Employee) - Coventry - 13 October 2021
Would only work for this company if you are truly desperate for money. I'm still owed sick pay/holiday pay and trying to get through on the phone to payroll is an absolute Joke. You are simply just a number when it comes to companies like these and that's all you'll ever be even if you're the best at catching shoplifters. Just a stepping stone on to a better job if you're desperate enough to get the experience.
Pros
None.
Cons
Long Hours/No life/Holidays all rejected.

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.

Security officer retail
Security Officer (Former Employee) - Scarborough - 8 June 2021
I worked for this company for 4 years. The sites I was at were nice and friendly. The problem is if you get into trouble the Cordant Maniger will always take the clients side and move you to new location even if it’s not your fault. The pay is a joke ok it comes every month on time but don’t think you will get much as pay is gov flat rate. No bonuses. If you won’t to get hold of your line manager forget it he spends more time on holiday than at work and when you do get him it’s what do you won’t ! All in all rubbish company stay way from them.
Pros
No
Cons
Ok
