Poor Management
Upscale Security Officer (Current Employee) - Ashburn, VA - May 24, 2019
No room for advancement. Manager lack training in performing their duties. Employees are just warm bodies filling a post. They promise 40 hour but now they are changing all sites to 32 hours. They lie about pay on site on the initial hiring and they place people on low paying sites. They have very high turnover rate because they don't treat their employees with respect. Until they change management I believe people should stay away from this place.

Understaffed and over worked
Control Room Operator (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - May 29, 2017
G4S has taken on huge contracts and are too understaffed to fill all of the posts. Staff are left to stay for 16+ hours to fill open posts and if they leave they risk being fired. The job is easy to do but the hours are insane. The work/life balance is virtually non existent as you only get one week of PTO after you have worked for the company for a year. The problem is, most of the officers do not make it to a year.
Pros
Highest paying security job in the area
Cons
lack of staff, poor scheduling, long hours, little to no benefits

Productive and fun workplace with ping pong table
Dater Center Security (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - January 24, 2017
According to me, i don't see a productive to be linked to workplace with ping pong table. Work doesn't related to distraction. When it's comes to working time, we got to be focus, a good mind set to accomplish our goals. I don't mixed work and distraction.
