    What’s it like working at Best Security?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Best Security appreciated the opportunity to work at different venues and events, as well as the good perks like free gym use and hands-on training. Some saw it as a good place to start a career in security.

    However, there were potential challenges such as concerns about the very low hourly rate of pay. Some felt that management did not listen to staff and made unreasonable demands. There were also issues with short notice roster changes, low hours, and having to travel long distances for potentially small shifts. The job itself could be physically and mentally demanding, requiring patience, endurance, and the ability to make judgements in difficult situations.

    Best Security was a good firm to work for except there pay rate was not good.
    The good thingsWhen you asked for an extra they try hard to accommodate where possible. If your pay was wrong they fixed it straight away or by next pay date.
    The challengesVery low hourly rate of pay they should look seriously at that. If the pay rate was the (Security Services Industry award 2010) rate and they had heaps of work I would work for Donna / Best Security. And there was no Part-Time/Full-Time it was only Casual.
