Securitas AG - Regionaldirektion Zürich

Efforts are underway to improve the overall working relationship in the company.

Internal work-related information flow should be improved by quite a bit. Labor earnings are likely to be higher.

Introduction, first days of work. Interesting environment. Some interesting assignments.

Life is only based on the duty roster. There are constant changes in the work schedule so that you can rarely keep private appointments. If you want to have certain days off, these are also counted as absences, even if you have your days off. It happens again and again that you have to work 6 days and only have one day off. More free time, better pay, then the work would be quite ok. From the outside, the image is still very bad. At Securitas work very nice people, unfortunately, they are exploited for maximum profit. Accept any order at any price, in every department there is a shortage of staff.

Unfortunately, not much. At the beginning you have a basic training in theory where is not so bad. But has improvement potential.

Very unserious, poorly trained. They put employees in places where you really should have security like consulate... but they are not trained for an emergency. They whine about lack of staff but scare away the employees. No wonder. Inquiries from the employees by e-mail are also answered. Communication is very poor, arbitrary planning and every weekend planned. The pay is very poor in this industry for the risks you have to take.

What goes well... Hmmm really hard... If you have the right people in the team, the work is fun. Hmmm there is nothing more...

For such a large company to be so poorly organized is really quite an art! You could compare Securitas with a train station, because as quickly as employees come they also go again. That is why Securitas is always on the lookout... It is not because the company is growing but its employees mostly verkrault and verheizt. The payment that was promised at the beginning can only be achieved if you work more than 200 hours a month. In the month. At the expense of your free time and friends. Securitas and worklife balance are like 2 pittbulls in a cage, there can only be 1 winner.

Good introductory training, great camaraderie, good team spirit, employees are given a great deal of personal responsibility.

Salary rather low, but Securitas is also in a big competitive situation

Potential is recognized and training is encouraged. The office space is good. The company has been developing rapidly for about 3 years and is equipped with modern working tools. Absolute pioneer in the security industry and the opportunity to be a part of it.

The employment conditions are no longer up to date. The compensation is below average and 20 vacation days is also a minus point for a large company.

Very well organized and discipline Herscht at all level.....

Securitas should have even better wages than other companies!(Securitas has a good reputation.)

Fast recruitment process, this has both advantages and disadvantages. In general, the typical Securitas is either a student looking for a part-time job or an aging person who has had to leave their former job for cost reasons.

Depending on the area of activity, strong potential for improvement in planning and management may be necessary. Due to the fact that one often does not work at only one place of employment, the working conditions are strongly fluctuating. The working clothes hardly protect against the weather and the salary is, as is typical for the service sector, set at ~23.-/h low.

Diversified and varied tasks, one can also change to other fields of activity and work flexibly. Besides, I am lucky to have a good boss who supports me.

There are very good bonuses depending on the field of activity, but it would be better if everyone could benefit from them.
