Not a great company and management are poor would not agree with asking anyone to work with this company rubbish that's pretty much all I can say about this company
Pros
None
Cons
Everything about the company
Absolutely disgusted with this so called firm! Falsely advertised role and hours Shocking staff and rude on the phone when there’s an issue I started and ended my employment within a few days it was incredibly poor management and the contract in witch I declined was completely different to what I’d been told and offered at the shoddy interview they try and spruce up the job advertisement but in reality it’s a 0 hour contract in the fine print and make you work at totally random locations witch is not in the advertisement the company is a disgrace to the security industry I’ve reported them to trading standards your just a number to them and they treat you like rubbish! Beware and avoid! Don’t get conned
Pros
None
Cons
Everything
They use telemarketers to harass you by phone ,Kingdome do not put remote interview on AD and do not respond through indeed .Once on there call list you will need to switch your phone off which is no good for night shift security and security on 24 hr call .Kingdom is unaware of the needs of the security officer to have rest and they do not send emails nor text to arrange appointments .Just rude arrogant inconsiderate ammeters causing a nuisance .They do not know our Security industry and it is better they stick to cleaning vacancies
Pros
no pros, it's a complete disaster
Cons
Failure to exercise professional etiquette, just cowboys/cowgirls
I worked for these for just over a year in Morrisons rogerstone i had an amazing experience but when i went to the ebbw vale store managers were extremely horrible to me and caused me to get bells paulsy a stress related illness my line manager never had my back and always took theshop managers side i ended up getting employment else where were now i am respected and have the support to do my role more effectively and my illness is at bay just a warning to any one who chooses to work for these that they will cause you stress and will lie about you and make your life hard so you're job is harder for you to do the instore manager doesn't like kingdom staff as yiur not part of Morrisons so they treat you like an out sider and make your job harder
Pros
None
Cons
Lie about your role
I have worked within the security industry and public service for years, my understanding was that when the SIA was introduced the industry would be much improved weeding out companies like these, non professional and only interested in money making, standards would be much improved and staff would be properly trained and paid as a professional. That hasn't happened.
Pros
None
Cons
As my review
Not a good company to work for. Made to work zero hour contract for an off shore company. This company is dodgy and does not care about our safety / well being
Pros
Paid employment
Cons
Poor Employer
Kingdom Security is not what you think it is............ it is not actually a Security Company it is a job agency and that is all.They are very deceitful when it comes to advertising jobs online, they basically create Click Bait and that is all. They will advertise a certain amount of hours per week, they will tell you if you are a security officer which store you will be working in every shift.......... and where. However when you get the employment contract to be signed, if you bother to read it, it does not state your job role. They state they can give you as little as 0 hours or indeed force you to do well beyond reasonable hours per week. They also state they can change your job role at a whim and insist not only you have to work anywhere in the UK but also the World. Complete and utter madness to sign such a contract and I refused end of. Keep well away from companies that decieve minimum wage workers unless of course you are a desperate shirt filler.
Pros
None
Cons
Loads
Long hours sometimes finish 12 hours then asked to do another 12 with no break in between quite dangerous really when you had to travel to next location, as long as you do what they say fine but the company isn't loyal to there staff.
Pros
Left alone
Cons
24 hour shifts
After working for this company for just over three years, I can honestly say it’s been a weight lifted of my shoulders leaving! Targets are how they work! You are expected to get 5 a day and if you don’t they will threaten you with an improvement notice! Wages are never correct! Pay rises only happen if your management or you get a promotion, bonus is spoken about but never seen in wages! Goal posts are changed weekly, no interest in staff safety, head office staff are rude, not a child friendly firm, hours change at the direction and you are expected to just change your home circumstances, not reliable, working on a zero hour contract by far the worst experience of my life they promise you everything but nothing is delivered do not be sucked in by the talk they talk.
Pros
Unknown
Cons
Too many to list

Pros

Jobs at Kingdom
Moved over with my partner and kids to start from scratch.
It has not been easy but definitely worth it , it gets better in time.
I have flexibility with my time and enjoy doing what I do.i have 2 permanent part-time jobs.
Pros
Variety of activities
Cons
Not full time
I enjoyed working for kingdom of sweet because I was able to work without pressure and got along with my colleagues. The job responsibilities wasn't too complicated as well.
Pros
free sweets of your choice, relaxing environment
Cons
shift cant be changed in short notice, lower pay comparing to other jobs
Absolute sham of a company to work for, manage kept changing so wasn't sure who was our supervisor it took ages for them to get cleaning stuff then it was always locked up so if supervisor wasn't in with the key couldn't get it then they gt new cleaner in to do days then called one day n told us we wasnt needed anymore n we was being made redundant but we are still on books dont no how that works it's an absolute sham of a company
Pros
Wage
Cons
Absolute sham of a company
Great company to work for, if your willing to put the effort in then you can progress within the company very fast. Help from upper management, great staff.
If your willing to put effort in then you will be with this company a long time
Pros
Good pay. Colleagues. Management
They say job an knock but if they let you go half hour early one day and then you work 1 hour OVERTIME the next they don’t pay you , don’t waste your time, not worth the stress, staff turnover is ridiculous and wagons are falling to bits, don’t risk your licence
Pros
Good lads
Cons
Stressful- not worth it
Things were great here at the start I’m not going to lie, then I started to meet and get to know the bosses, it’s a horrible company to work for the bosses don’t give a *#@t about you and they set you up to fail, no plans for the future just false promises I wouldn’t Recomended working here to my worst enemy, they hand out disaplinerys For struggling employees getting to and from work because of this lockdown and leaving a near half hour early or wait 2 hours for a train or simply walk 2+ hours home or to work, I hope everyone sees this before applying please don’t
Pros
Not a single thing
Cons
List is to long...
Was bullied and verbally abused, yet all management did was give ÂŁ10 voucher for staying calmn. The abuse went on for several days/month
Sanctury asked to get moved from site because they felt I was not safe there no more I agreed thinking kingdom would get full time place but only got 8 days of work for whole month. Worst company to work for in terms of they don’t look after security guard
Pros
No pros
Cons
Managment make promise and don’t deliver
Highly recommend you avoid this company no matter what especially if you are not of native English, management made jokes about my accent and was referred to as the d1ckh3ad from Finland heard people of ethnic backgrounds say similar things managers just petty bullies who act ten men but cowards when confronted
Pros
Nothing at all
Cons
Too many to list
It's a joke company, honestly do not even think to work for them. Minimum pay 8.72
MANAGERS ARE LIARS, YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYBODY IN THE COMPANY, you have to use your own car to visit other sites and never get any money from them to cover your fuel expenses.
Shocking management!
Poor communication!
Induction and training never happened!
Never paid the correct wage from start to finish!
Supervisor was unprofessional including other managers!
