Pros

Account management pay can be excellent but is dependent on the contract. As the third largest employer in the US, you can find an AUS job in any major city in the country.

Cons

Zero branch support for account managers, and you will be left to cover shifts exclusively on your own. Whoever the branch office will insist you support them in special requests, even if it means leaving your shifts open. If you work directly as an operations or client manager, branch leadership will repeatedly promise raises without providing any documentation, and when the time comes for your increase, the increase will not be available in "the current branch budget" but just hold out for next year. I was told this three years in a row.

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.
