Pros

willing to work with you on time off, as long as you find coverage. base salary is ok for the area. but at times McDonalds was hiring at a higher salary so competitive for the area as there is not much in front royal but not the best either.

Cons

absolutely everything involving corporate. they will lie and change your contract without informing you; the management positions (with a lot of added responsibilities) only pays $1 more than the base salary; the anual inflation raise didint cover the inflation rate in 2022 or 2023, so I ended up Making less in monetary value by the time I left the company from when I started with the company. and anything else you can think of is awful. I left due to managments refusal to control the indoor smoking and the fact that other coworkers where deficating all over the office, Granted he was disabled, but they should be responsable for making sure its cleaned up, not just leave the us (the night shift) with it as there is no one other than security personnel on site by the time we get there, I complained in daily emails and in person for nearly 1.5 years till I quit, Then they refused to pay unemployment. so yeah save yourself the trouble of working for such a misguided company

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.
