      WOULD NOT RECOMMEND !!!!! - Unarmed Security Guard Allied Universal Employee Review

      Pros

      Pay was decent when you work a full schedule. Some sites were very easy to work. Minimal supervision. Paid weekly. Set schedule. Most sites were close to home.

      Cons

      From the top down, utter and complete lack of communication. Extremely disorganized. No value of employees No morals. No accountability when they make a mistake. They force you to stay over your scheduled shift by 4 hours if no relief has arrived. Employees are just another number to them. They will cut your days and hours without notice and expect you to be ok with it. They will change your predetermined schedule without notice. They mishandle your pay at times so you'll need to have it fixed. They allow employees to get away with almost anything without repercussions. Dishonest. They won't always find you coverage when someone doesn't show up aside from not informing you that they aren't showing up.

      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.
