Worked for them for around 6 months, not many opportunities or progression offered even though they kept promising me a promotion. Not very good in my opinion. Pay poor wages as well and if you ask for a pay rise they say your causing trouble which is not fair.

Our business has worked with the team at MAN Commercial Protection for over a decade and wouldn't use any other security firm. I have always found them professional, the best at what they do and never let me down. They build a great relationship and make it feel like you are working with friends that really care.

My time as an employee at MAN Commercial headquarter was brief but exceptionally rewarding. The team fostered a collaborative and supportive environment that made it a pleasure to contribute. I was impressed by the company's focus on quality security service. My experience was invaluable, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the team.

Just completed a 3 day CCTV training course and the whole experience from start to finish was excellent. The course was delivered in a professional manner with great training facilities and friendly and knowledgeable staff available to assist along the way. The premises are spotless and facilities fantastic. The content of the course was excellent and everyday I left feeling I had gained knowledge I will retain which will benefit my future career. I cannot recommend the training I received more.

I have worked for Man commercial protection for 6/7 years, with a 4 month gap last year. I have worked on many sites in the Dorset area as a security officer and as a supervisor. The support from head office and the team as a whole is very good. I have also had the privilege and pleasure to visit head office on several occasions, with a warm welcome. Highly recommended

I have recently just started working at MAN Commercial Protection in their sales team which I am really keen to progress my career in. So far I have learnt what great services MAN can provide along with the support from Iain, Traci, Andrew, Paige, Chris, Lauren, Laura and Scott and all the others at MAN. I definitely would recommend anyone who would be interested in starting a career with MAN!

And the senior officers at Man think they can treat you any way they want. I very rarely felt appreciated for the work I was doing. But many a time I felt belittled and ignored like a nobody.

Sorry, but I could not recommend this company after such bad experiences working for them. Their morals and lack of respect for employees is terrible. MAN Commercial does not deliver on its promises and are only wanting to make as much profit as possible. Be careful if your thinking about using them for security services, which I think is a bit risky

MAN Commercial Protection are delibrately enticing and encouraging staff to write bogus 5 star reviews on Google, so watch out! I became suspicious and monitored their behaviour relentlessly over a 4 month period with my colleagues. I discovered all the positive reviews was coming from its very own family related staff working at MAN Commercial head office. During my observations I took screenshots and counted at least 30 genuine 1 star negative reviews had also been deleted and removed.
Each fake positive review was cross referenced with accounts belonging to Linkedin.com. This search revealed all the names and what senior positions they held within MAN Commercial. My suspicions was then confirmed as expected. A corrupt company trying to deceive potential customers and get them to buy business from them by rigging its reviews to make out they are a great company. This is fraudulent and called mis-representation. Giving employees and clients a false sense of security by dishonest practices.
Its a common occurrence amongst senior staff to go around bribing staff with Love2shop vouchers. Taking advantage of vulnerable employees just before Christmas is just one of many dirty tricks MAN Commercial is prepared to play on you. They win you over then ask you to leave a nice review. They are desperate asking guards to work flat out 24/7. Saying to them its okay to work 84 hours a week without a break just to make more profit.
These tactics are illegal under the working time regulations 1998, but MAN Commercial likes to think it is doing its employees a big favour by allowing a slave culture. Nobody really wants to work for them anymore because they pay appalling wages and tell too many lies.

I have been working with this company for around 2 months now and it has been amazing, I felt very welcomed into this company and was made to feel at home from the start. The customer service which this company provides is amazing, I have saw this from seeing how polite people are when speaking to customers and by seeing how eager everyone is to help.
