Commissionaires Employee Reviews about "flexible hours"

Pros

Flexible hours, pays always accurate and on time

Cons

Don't return calls or emails regarding a concern I have. Horrible pay for what the job is

Pros

Flexible hours. Friendly people. Nice.

Cons

Low pay. Long hours. Night shifts

Pros

Flexible hours and good pay

Cons

Minimum advancement in the company

Pros

1.Uniforms look good and they provide a wide variety of accessories (i.e. coats, winter hats, tie clips, and belts) that are of good quality. 2.Management seems professional and treats you with respect and dignity. 3. Co-workers are mostly senior citizens who usually have some cool stories/life-advice to share with you. 4.Also the sites are very clean and usually indoor (being mostly government institutions). ** Great for young students looking for flexible hours and senior citizens trying to supplement their retirement income.

Cons

1.Low pay with no benefits. 2.Still a boring job that is not very challenging meaning you develop very little skill from the job. 3. NOT A CAREER CHOICE! ** I know this might sound judgmental but as a young person nothing makes you feel worse than knowing you share the same job duties with a +70 year old.

Pros

Commissionaires is great for students. I joined in 2008 and was able to completely pay for my post secondary education. They pay above the industry average and offer decent benefits, offer free training, and provide free uniforms. They have flexible hours and many posts allow the use of a laptop during evening/overnight/weekend shifts which helped me to study while at work. Overall they are a great company to work for, but don't be fooled into thinking you can make a career out of it.

Cons

Management behaves in a sort of old boys club fashion, if you are not in tight with someone in upper management there is little hope for any real advancement. I have witnessed first hand poor management tactics such as claiming to be a bilingual company and then not making the training or memorandums available in both official languages. I have seen several coworkers, who's first language is French, branded as incompetent workers because management refused or were unable to offer training or health and safety information in both languages. As a result, my coworkers would have difficulty understanding the information and putting it into practice.

Pros

Flexible hours. Great friendly people. Pay and benefits better than most other security company.

Cons

Some work sites better than others.
