What works well?

The deeds clearly don't live up to the claims. The success of this enterprise is highly suspect.

What could be improved?

Management from another age. The worst CLA in Switzerland. No dialogue.

Cronyism and privileged schedules unless you are professional and honest

What could be improved?

Lack of discipline, including on the part of the RS. Even at the mc do there are more.

What works well?

I can't give you a precise opinion on this question. But I can simply tell you that when it comes to recruitment, I find the company extremely closed.

What could be improved?

I must have applied a dozen times for a part-time or full-time security position. And every time I've been turned down, which suggests that you need to be an engineer to do the job... . I find this distressing, especially as I'm a national of France, and I'm in excellent physical condition. I also have a university degree. At least give the opportunity to young people who are genuinely motivated, and who moreover have all the physical qualities required.

What works well?

Salaries are paid on time. Nothing else positive to report about this company, unfortunately.

What could be improved?

Low salaries in line with the CLA to the penny. Staff management based on blackmail and intimidation, the aim being to break agents in order to undermine them in the controls. Any attempt at advancement is immediately scuttled; only cronyism works. Annual training sessions are held remotely, and face-to-face sessions are in fact a monologue with the "trainer". Agents are prevented from speaking out, to avoid complaining about working conditions and opening the conscience of other newly arrived agents. The former S contracts are being laid off to save on their salaries, and it's becoming very difficult to become an A contract unless you have a permanent position. All that's left are precarious B/C contracts or students. More and more customers are asking for federally certified agents, but the company does nothing to support these agents in their training or in passing the exam. It's impossible to communicate with superiors, everything is watertight, the personnel committee doesn't represent the staff either, and those who try to defend the agents are ousted from this committee.

Securitas offers opportunities for development. The training offer is important

What could be improved?

The uniforms could be revised, they are a bit old-fashioned...

What works well?

Not found yet... Lying, incompetence, lack of winning due to the first two criteria...Management from another era. Aberrant work contract.

What could be improved?

Everything needs to be improved. This company (suc. de Genève) was at the forefront of training and service 2 decades ago. It seems that Securitas Geneva has to seriously revise its copy in terms of leader. too big to fail. Not sure. The work climate is not good... The employees are exhausted and resigned. Understandable since most of them come from far away... They work for a slightly better salary than at home, but with hours worthy of the countries we criticize daily... Hire mostly former gendarmes (France), soldiers (France), legionnaires (France) .... Ensures the company of people with complicated schedules and miserable wages...

What works well?

I am delighted to be part of a company where support between colleagues and hierarchy puts the human element back in value.

What could be improved?

I am with Securitas since October 2021. I am delighted with the attention of my hierarchy and their support with a lot of possibility of evolution. I feel for the first time aligned in the collaboration with colleagues.

What works well?

Compared to other jobs I've had before, here I'm not going to break my back..., there are some stressful situations but it's not tiring and every minute of service is counted, some years a bonus in the form of a gift card (max 500 CHF) is offered according to the number of hours on duty. For my part, I was able to choose to recover my extra time at my convenience rather than leaving a large part of it to the tax authorities.

What could be improved?

-The main point to improve in my opinion is the remuneration, we are at the bottom for Switzerland, the annual increases are derisory after the fourth year of service, which does not encourage to want to stay since the working conditions are not always easy depending on where they post you. - The planning is random, it does not take into account the preferences of the employees. As I noticed in the other reviews, we are a number, if it doesn't suit you look for something else... that's it!

What works well?

Nothing of nothing !!! All evolution is based on cronyism in no way it's based on competence the more you tell stews about your colleagues and you try to trap them the more you are welcome in this company . A real hell !

What could be improved?

Everything is to be improved since there is no positive point in the working environment of this company.

What works well?

Access to various training courses, but it's a shame that this doesn't lead to development proposals or prospects for development within the company. Too much turnover and the good people do not stay long or are encouraged to leave. Very little communication at all levels. Some benefits for students or people looking for a salary supplement.

What could be improved?

Very nice shop window.....shame that once inside the store, the commitments from the beginning are not respected. No consideration, no recognition and no thanks, even after a few years with a fixed contract. You have a number (like in prison ....) and it is very difficult to have contacts and to be able to exchange directly with your hierarchy or the members of the management.
