Pros

Some site posts have good benefits. Everyone I've worked with (who isn't management) so far has been a great team member. OT hours are almost always available if you need extra money.

Cons

Management does not care about their employees. I was a loyal employee known to always be on time/trustworthy for 6 years. Regardless, I was left out in the cold once they lost their contract with my last post. They've offered me positions that don't meet the hours I'm available, pay less than I was making,( let alone what im worth,) and/or has less benefits. I was told i didn't need to worry about job placement ahead of time by Management, I believe this was a way to just dismiss my concerns. I just would have appreciated honesty, so I could have found a job ahead of time. Would have been great to have been shown a little respect considering the effort I put in to be a great employee. Also, every couple months I'd find that I was missing several hours of pay. I always got my money, eventually. But I know alot of employees who don't check their paycheck! Please, ALWAYS check your paychecks- people!

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.
