They promise you the world. But run you into the ground

Electrician (Former Employee) - Kilmarnock - 5 December 2019

You are given 8job sheets to do in 8 different towns and have to fill in 10 different forms for each job, completed or not. If not, you are Hounded by the girls in the office (even though you are more experienced and qualified than the 30 staff together!). Which adds hours onto job 1. Now "What have you been doing?, you have another 7jobs booked?.

good jobs badly organised

Electrician (Former Employee) - Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire - 4 March 2018

Working with fortress was different from most companies. The contracts they had were decent ones really good jobs, however the management team that were in place were absolutely shocking to work with would not recommend this company to work for . The guys who own the company are decent guys who do try help where possible. shame they hire certain people to run things for them

Working for fortress

Labourer/Driver (Current Employee) - Brierley Hill, West Midlands - 5 September 2017

a typical day involves in doing the job hardest way possible with tools that sometimes don't seem safe and equipment that also don't feel safe to use, nothing enjoyable about the job.

Cons

expected to do long hours without being asked if okay to do so

Excellent fun productive

security guard (Former Employee) - Clydebank, SCT - 12 August 2013

It was long hours but i enjoyed my time their, it could be very isolating at times being on your own for 12 hours a night 7 days a week. I would start by doing my paper work what was on the stic site do my checks make sure everything was their that should be ie machines etc. I learned that i could work well on my own. The hardest part of the job was probably in the winter as it was so cold. I found it drove me and i got great job satisfaction as nothing ever got stole when i was on site
