Best thing
Job security
Worst thing
Understaffed and overworked
SECOM Employee, October 2023

Best thing
The people I work with, 4 on 4 off shift pattern, double time for overtime, lieu days for bank Holidays
Worst thing
Managers are never around or know what's going on, the top brass keep changing the rules and procedures without telling employers or company's we work with. Different rules for every employee.
