Pros

The pay is good and better than a lot of other security companies. They also do give you vacation pay automatically every year that you work for them. Some account managers are very responsive when you have questions or issues whilw working a site.

Cons

Challenges working at Allied include account managers who do not communicate consistently, who alter your work schedule with little to no notice, and who dont want to pay you for extra supplies or extra non security work you may end up doing at a site. Luckily my last account manager Michael Gray was great.

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
