Pros
They are always hiring, and the pay is decent if your going to school or something, but you can't live make a living of it. Depending on where you work, the work load can be minimal.
Cons
Everything is dictated by clients that contract out alliedbarton. So, if the client wants to u to wear long sleeves and black pants in 100 degree weather for a mall cop position then that's what they get. The company has absolutely no concern for its employees. You are what I like to call expendable. My location has swept sexual harassment allegations under the rug, treated employees unfairly, and is constantly added tasks and work to employees; regardless of what is contracted between the client and alliedbarton. Now, this will very between work sites, but the site I am at is completely undermining it's employees. The employees at my job site have even been told by a former supervisor that out security director believes us all to be complete dumbasses. I have a lot more to say about this company, but I think we all get the idea. It is what you make of it, and it all depends on the site you get.
