I've worked for quite a few companies over the years, some good, some very bad, both as an employee and latterly as a subbie.

I'm not going to name names. Some of these companies would quite happily have you lie to customers, and in fact actively encourage you to sell systems and equipment to people who didn't need it (or tell them their system/panel/detectors needed to be replaced when there was nothing wrong with it and generally act in a dishonest fashion. I may be many things but dishonest I am not. Had some fallings out over that kind of behaviour.

Just wondering if others have had similar experiences re. employers.

Oh changed my mind about the naming names, but only in regards to the good guys.

Bell Security (based in Edinburgh) were a great company to work for. Very good salary, good bosses (mostly) and a great bunch of guys to work with.

Secom were also a good company to work for.

Had bad, had good. worked for 1 national and it was ok untill i became office based, but a few of the smaller ones were rubbish. The one im at now is good

The one im at now is good

From whose perspective though?

we`re good - well you did ask

Whats the point in asking for the worst employers if you don't want them named? What is it supposed to be? Guessing game?

naming people can cause issues. The person making the claim if unproved or has shallower pockets that the other person will loose a lot of money.

If you have all the proof you need to prove it in court and post it as well.... but if your wrong say goodbye to your house.

ADT - great employer as far as im concerned. No company pension scheme about the only downside.

Maybe its being in the IOM that makes it better but i think they are a great company

Both companys i have worked for have been reasonably good. New company didnt provide a drill which im not happy about. Old company gave us old shed vans. Hit and miss both companys pay well and are reasonably laid back.
