Hugorune Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooly-bobs Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Whats the point in asking for the worst employers if you don't want them named? What is it supposed to be? Guessing game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 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. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

SIMONADT Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 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 Fire and Security Service Engineer ***Any views or statements above are not the views of my Employer*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob6709 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rulland Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Worked for an NSI gold company-they supplied the vehicle and consumables ie screws etc-the tools etc were supplied by me, all hand tools, all power tools-I had around about 5k's worth on the van at any one time-none of which was covered by company insurance!-as I found out after when my PDA was pinched at midday by some scumbag who broke the window, in the centre of town with passers by in attendance. The owner/proprieter of MSI(David Hardman) was informed of the incident and casually mentioned that my theft would not be covered !!!. Apparently none of the vehicles contents-ie tools bought by MSI engineers are covered by the companies insurance-But this was not made known to the engineering staff!!!!!. Richard.
