Security Guard (Former Employee) - Leeds - 19 January 2019

One of the worst companies I have ever worked for no one has a clue what’s going on I once booked some holidays which were granted and then they called me up asking if I wanted over time and I was the only one able to cover due to them not having many sites up here, told them that it was my site and my holidays, always came on site unannounced trying to catch you sleeping as I worked in the middle of no were, supervisors were clueless and never in uniform

Pros

None

Cons

Everything

We have a number of contracts in and around Leeds !!! Maybe you weren't suitable for any of them and yes Supervisors do attend unannounced and check you are awake and working !! THATS THEIR JOB

it was a shock

Security Guard (Current Employee) - Bolton, Greater Manchester - 2 October 2018

I was shocked when i started with Duval that i actually received a contract of employment before i started with the company , i have worked for 26 years in the security industry and never received a contract of employment before i started and some companies i never received a contract at all, since then i have been well looked after by the management and my pay has been pretty much correct all the time , The helpdesk could be better but i never talk to them really as i work the same shifts , overall pretty satisfied with this lot , the ladies in personnel are really nice and helpful and have sorted issues out form me from the home office, never met the big boss but i heard he's very tough , so its probably best i don't i have 5 years left to retire so i hope i can stay with this lot if they keep the contract

Pros

good managers

Cons

i would like more money but who doesnt
