Pros

Management is fairly responsive and their's a ton of hours available if you are dependable. I've had only a couple of issues regarding pay but I suggest to always be on top of paid time off and vacation.

Cons

It is a contract position , so if the client you are working for isn't happy with you or company , they can terminate both. Unless you want to become management , its not the ideal career .

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.
