    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at G4S appreciate their colleagues and team members, noting that staff are polite and supportive. Pay is considered fair to above average, with opportunities for overtime. Some employees enjoy the variety of work, with different tasks and locations providing interesting experiences, and certain roles offer good work/life balance with flexible rostering arrangements.

    However, there are some potential challenges. Management is frequently mentioned as an area for improvement, with issues around communication, support, and operational experience. Rostering can be inconsistent, with some employees experiencing week-to-week schedules and last-minute shift notifications. Training and onboarding processes could be more organised, and staffing levels can be lean at times. Additionally, equipment and facilities at some locations may be outdated, and communication between management and staff could be improved.

    Bendigo VIC 3550Less than 1 year in the role, current employee
    A privleged role to be in, but ruined by Officers & Management who will make your life miserable.
    The good thingsTravelling to other locations to work has been good, as well as Accomodation & Food being covered... but otherwise, not much else.
    The challengesFavortism runs rampant in G4s and the Managers/Supervisors are all best mates, so you mess up with one, you mess up with all of them. Training is lazy and is past on to other Officers who aren't Qualified to provide training. Rumours are constantly spread about other Officers, and you cannot trust other Officers with anything. Some Officers have such inflated ego's that they cannot handle being told no either.

    Port Hedland, Karratha & Pilbara WA2 to 3 years in the role, current employee
    Can we fix it - Not chance - think twice before you jump
    The good thingsNot many, Going home at the end of the swing, Training very unorganized, no planning, staff do what they want, no back up form senior management, always short staffed
    The challengesThe work location is old, everything breaks down, most of your time is dealing with broken of outdated equipment or systems. The camp, is second rate, 15 hour days, paid for 12, travel time not included. Senior Management are very poor, there only focus is numbers of staff on duty so they can charge the client.
