Pros

The only pro to working at Secom is the friendships you make from the mutual hatred you share about the company. If you choose to work here, just use it as a stepping stone. Because you don't want to end up being stuck there.

Cons

There are many cons to working at Secom. I'm not even sure if I would be able to write them all down. The first con is that you are introduced to the company as being this progressive place where everything is set in stone and to expect nothing but the best. And sure enough the first few weeks/months fly by swimmingly and it does feel like a perfect place to work. But then over time, you start to realise everything that is wrong with the company. The constant backbiting, the co-workers that stab you in the back and send emails to your boss with every little mishap you make. What felt like a family in the beginning, suddenly turns into this whole mistrust. You're not sure who you can turn to. There's going to be plenty of people that act friendly to your face, but as soon as you're out of the room they turn into these vindictive people that pick at everything that you've done. And don't even trust HR. You can send a complaint to HR, but sure enough, the whole office will know about the complaint and who sent it. Nothing is private. You can't trust your boss, you can't trust your co-workers, and you can't even trust the HR team. This workplace will make you question everything you once believed in. Your best is not even acknowledged, and the people that get all the credit are the favourites.

Pros

I made amazing friends with some of the employees.

Cons

The managers have a clique with certain employees. I was bullied out of the company by my manager. I was doing 1 half of a job and then my colleague left. So I ended up doing 2 peoples jobs. I asked for another person, I asked for help. All of my requests were turned down. I was not allowed to put in for my overtime, so my overtime was for free. But I also wasn’t allowed to go home leaving the job half done. Since I left, I am aware that the person that took over my job was someone with a family connection to the company. They have been given unlimited overtime, working up to 7 days a week if they wish. Along with extra resources and another person to help him.

Pros

Nice people, good local management, not hard work if you do what is expected

Cons

Very bad communications internally, no one speaks to each other or the clients, Senior management seems oblivious to serious issues and the attrition rate had a great name for service but soon goes, you get what you pay for which shows int he staff being brought on,,,,I could go on
