Bad organisation for such a large company and all the blame is put on the engineers.
Cameras facing directly at you ( only on face and shoulders)in the vans for some reason. Apparently they say if smoking detected.
Also forward facing one that’s ok but, tells you if you a to close to the car in front so, if someone overtakes on the motorway you will get a warning.

I was TUPE'ed  into Mitie at the end of a FM Contract for the NHS from the start my concerns grew, the transfer and induction was very basic, and little was achieved to ensure the teams where on board with the required systems / equipment provided quickly , paperwork was lost and had to be done a number of times. it was clear the mobilisation was too rushed.  while the messages from the centre raise expectations the finial delivery was always poor, not quite there. there was little real training or development of skills , it was all about delivery of what was contract for and no more. areas were over sized and as such all the engineers and supervisors and managers are overstretched and unable to take real ownership and make a difference.

I worked as a Security Officer in the Sainsburys in Essex and Suffolk (Sainsburys Springfield, Braintree, Sudbury, Colchester, Stanway, Hadleigh Road, Warren Heath, Clacton) and had to travel to the sites on my own expense.
First I was "relief" officer, my rota changed very often (3x a week!!!), my manager did not bother to call me only texted. He was never available on phone, it was nearly impossible to book holiday.
On some sites some guards get more money than me for the same job and they were favoured when the rota was made.
The stores gave points for my performance regulary, I got good points because I had a good relationship with the managers but the system is not professional at all. Lots of guards were penalised unfairly.

Absolute worst company I have ever worked for. Poor staffing levels loudly echo  this. 
Very long hours with forced overtime which is not paid only time in lieu which is useless. 
Very poor skills displayed by staff with dangerous incompetence putting others at risk. 
Very little or no support from managers and seniors. 
No work life balance  whatsoever. 
The only upside is the police collègues who are amazing and very supportive but do put a lot of pressure on the health care. 
Drug protocols very poor and lacking PGDs for many drugs. 
Also massive skill fade for any clinician who wishes to move on from custody. 
Not recommended.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay is always on time other than that not very good would of given zero stars but to proceed had to give one star


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
HR team are not helpful and actually very useless, all of my heath and safety courses have expired- when I started I had all the courses IPAF-PASMA -working at heights etc etc etc but now all expired 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is poor only the few chosen ones are looked after 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful being bullied by certain members of the team

Mitie have false mission statements such as "we are one" they extract the most from employees by giving the least, the management through all its levels mainly have unfit managers with very immature outlooks usually from age and lack of experience, they are not leaders, they have no ability to control, nurture or organise and extremely low abilities in acting in accordance with best practices or legislation in employment law, general law etc and are falsely secure in hiding behind they had no idea!. 

a typical day working for MITIE within a retail setting involved interacting with many people from many cultures and circumstances whether it be tourists to a regular customer having a complaint or compliment to a  homeless male/female who may have committed an offence this would lead you to use your many skills you learn on your SIA course to determine the best way to deal with the situation.
I always felt that I had the backing of my managers and that I had there support in any requests I had about safety concerns on events and they were very accommodating when you I needed time off.

6 AM till well after 7 PM
Never what it seems ??
This is 2nd time iv worke for MITIE first time 9 years this time 6 and on going
Middle management fine above dont seem to do anything ? other then throw out emails which we feel is us doing they job , too many managers running contract , no chance of moving on within the company as always bring from outside
Great always they to help 
times are hard within company and removing mobiles is taken it to point of not being able to cover contracts ,  not many workers wont to work for us and i find this sad
Get on well with all my staff and managers but 12 clock Saturday some times cant come round fast as we would like

if you have a good work ethic you will be noticed but mainly because your co-workers do not share that ethic, direct management not great but no worse than any other cleaning company,  once your team are on your side and you rid yourself of the deadwood then you can do what you were employed to do and if you last that long you will find it is a very good role to be employed in and most of the bad press that mitie receives is down to the middle management where communication, they have to learn in any role is key.
