Poor management
Cleaner (Current Employee) – Hobart TAS – 18 July 2019
No respect to employees, someone always has incorrect pay and the company has poor leadership. The higher positions will try to take advantage of you and they spread nasty words about their employees.
Workplace Culture

Security Officer and Crowd Controller (Former Employee) – Darwin NT – 14 June 2019
There were good working security officers in the company and everyone sort of liked each other, the work environment was good, customers were friendly as well.
Great staff but terrible management and training
Aviation Protection Officer (Former Employee) – Gold Coast QLD – 9 March 2019
After a long (over 10 yrs) employment with this company, I finally realized what a terrible and unsupportive company I had been working for. It does depend on what site your stationed at, but the underlying problem is that ISS under bid for the renewal or new contracts when they come up, then realize that they need to put in short cuts to make up the losses, and that filters down to the work sites they manage, which in turn makes the workload on the employees that much more harder. They will run the screening points continuously under staff, due to sick leave and uncovered shifts, which makes it a very stressful place to work in. The ongoing training is very baldly handled, and most new training comes out in memo form. There are huge problems with management "favourites" when it comes to promotion as well. The team leaders and floor staff make the screening points run efficiently.......NOT MANAGEMENT. You will receive very little praise for your hard work and dedication, but they will constantly come down on you for the smallest of mistakes. They constantly monitor you and that gives you a feeling of distrust on the behalf of them. The money is very average considering what you have to know and do to be able to become an Aviation Protection Officer. You need to work alot of hrs and have those hours all be at a flexirate, otherwise your base rate of $23.50 just won't cut it. I no longer work for this company due to the absolute lack of support this company gives it's staff, team leaders and supervisors. I am not bitter, and I don't hold a grudge against this company, but believe more... me, if you are going to spend $1000's of dollars sitting an Aviation Security Course and then buy your licence, boots and go through 40 hrs of training for a minimum wage job where you are treated like just another number, then I would advise you to look into something else. As I said, it does depend on the site. You might be lucky, but your career has to be based not just on if your lucky or not. Everybody who leaves(they have a huge turnover rate), never regrets leaving this company. They might miss the job itself, but never the company. Good luck if you choose to work for this company as an Aviation Protection Officer. It's a great job.....just a woeful company. less

Cleaner - Part Time (Former Employee) – Tamworth NSW – 29 January 2019
Overall and alright company to work for, however management could do with some adjustment. At the time of my employment the communication between management and employees was not the best, seemed as though the only time i heard from my area manager was to complain.
Pros
good pay, good emloyees
Cons
poor management
Extremely hot, Long days, No regularity
Utility Worker (Former Employee) – Karratha WA – 22 January 2019
Whilst working with this company my role was to clean rooms and service them, for all mine personnel. Changing bed linen twice a week, clean shower, toilet areas.
The hardest part of this job was the heat, as I was working in 40+ degrees.
The most enjoyable was the pay received

Commercial Cleaner (Current Employee) – Glen Waverley VIC – 11 November 2018
I have been working for ISS Facility Services for almost 3 years now, as a cleaner. As a employer and a student at the same time I can always arrange my work with them. Great Pay for as a part timer.
Management is great. They conduct workshops for every worker each year and that helps a lot to improve our service and skills.
Really enjoying working with them.

Gym management (Current Employee) – Moranbah QLD – 4 October 2018
Great food, Free Gym, Accommodation and Wifi.
2 weeks on 1 week off roster
Not the best start for me as there were a lot of internal changes in the company at the time and so was not given a proper induction and direction.
This made the initial few weeks into the role a sink or swim scenario, which thankfully I was able to learn and create some structure to the operation of the role.
However this allowed of the greater need for initiative, creativity and resourcefulness.

Worked as a Steward at The star casino in Sydney
Steward (Former Employee) – The starcasino, Sydney – 30 September 2018
I worked as a steward at The star casino. You are asked to work in dangerous places where chemicals and hot water are mixed for better clenaning, The vapours that come out from them is not the management's concerns. Although the ISS management is nice and friendly but The star management and cooperation is negligible. ISS dont want to loose its client. Therefore, all decisions are taken from their chefs and businesspoint of view. They never ask if steward has any problems and what kind health and safety isses are being faced by stewards and cleaners. So, if you are planning to work at The Star casino. You need mentally prepare yourself that your work place is not in Australia, somewhere in Mexico.
Pros
Friendly ISS mangement
Cons
No Toilet or Lunch breaks Whenever they say you go, Make you to work in dangerous places where chemicals and hot water are mixed for better clenaning, but ignore dangerous vapours that clearly affecting stewards health, Otherwise be ready to loose the job.
