Pros

I originally got the job so I could study for my AFOQT’s while I worked. The good thing is you have a lot of time by yourself if you have a fire-watch or similar temporary position. (Other positions where you’re always interacting with people can be draining for some) Nice uniforms

Cons

There was no Supervisor at either of my posts. The only person I had contact to was the number to the Field Captains work phone. I’ve never met this FC ( supervisor) before but I could swear it was a different person I talked to every few months. Zer0 training aside from some videos every Security Guard has to watch because of 9/11.

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.
