      Pros

      It's a job. For some Weekly pay works well. For me Not so much.

      Cons

      Favoritism: they keep in a position of a bottom feeder (per say)! They never allow new employees to advance. There is still discrimination against newer Employees. And this hurts or harms the chance to advance. When a newer employee has a legitimate grievance they become marked as a trouble maker and forced to resign before their grievance is reviewed by management. An incoming employee who is qualified for a higher paying position is constantly overlooked for promotion or restricted to lower paying posts or sites indefinitely! Frequently management staff will assign a New employee to a lower paying position Just to save the better position for someone or another employee that they know personally! Lack of professionalism throughout the management staff.

      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.
