Pros

$11.00/ hr, close to home, some overtime

Cons

Make you work overtime even if you told them while being hired that you couldn't, one 15 minute break even if you're working 12 hrs, no where to take a break at, can't go in break room, constantly changes schedule 3-4 times a week, you won't know your schedule until a Thursday, constantly hire new people and put them on a sit down post while the veterans of the company gets the 12 hours and standing posts

Pros

Once you've networked with the right people it becomes all success and excellence. Through my years of experience with Allied Universal, I was fortunate enough to work with the right accommodations and site placements. I even had a chance to demonstrate supervisor status that I never did before in private security. I think Allied Universal gives chances to anyone eager enough to try gainful employment with opportunities to prove it. One quality pro factor that Allied Universal offers is through your journey of work placements at client sites, one client site will eventually become your primary site by choice to stay permanently as a career.

Cons

Career growth is slow because Allied Universal is humongous as both a company and private corporation. Opportunities don't exist often after getting your Guard Card but if you take the opportunities as an opportunistic, you'll do fine and reach the next stages in bottom management.
