Pros

Easiest job ever, especially for the pay.

Cons

Going above and beyond will be your downfall. Being a hard-charger will only wear you out as there's never any incentive or reward for doing more than your job. Self-satisfaction will only go so far since they'll look at you as the "dependable" worker, and the entire workload will fall onto you while others can hardly do the bare minimum. There's no genuine appreciation outside of a scripted "we thank you for you hard work." The saying "people don't quit their jobs, people quit their management," rings incredibly true here since management has a knack for making the easiest job in the world incredibly difficult.

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.
