I applied in-person. I interviewed at Allied Universal in Aug 2016
Interview
The interview process was very boring and almost non-existent. Allied Universal hires bodies not Professional Security Guards. The only thing they require to have is to have a guard card and on some contracts an Exposed firearms permit. They do not do a background check which results in many lazy, non-qualified guards and a very high turnover rate. There are only a few seasoned officers who stay with the company!

Question 1
Did I have a guard card and Exposed Firearms permit!
I had multiple online interviews that I was supposed to complete for each job applied for. There was an Armed Supervisor, Armed Security Officer jobs and a variety of others. The interviewer never arrived for any interview. These positions were for a variety of locations between Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, Ohio.
I interviewed at Allied Universal (Lexington-Fayette, KY)
Interview
The in person interview was quick but also effective. Good questions were asked to gauge my capabilities and my time wasn’t wasted with a lengthy process. I was also given the time and opportunity to ask questions of my own to ensure this job was a good fit for me.

I interviewed at Allied Universal (North Las Vegas, NV) in Mar 2025
Interview
I received an email from the company to download a app to do my video interview with my phone. It didn’t take too long to complete all the questions that was asked concerning security situations that I had participating in.

One of the most intense situation in my job that I had to respond to I think our I chose me proceeding CPR on one of the residence at one of the post I worked at and a possible shooting.
