Pros

No pros. This company lacks in quality to say the least.

Cons

Where do I begin? Let’s start with the management of the sites. The communication for the company is poor. They are not on one accord when it comes to communication, and you’ll be told one thing and the next minute told a completely different thing. They do not have their payroll in order. I am still waiting on my first check and I started almost a month ago. The management tried to tell me that I wasn’t in the system, but I was already at my site working my post so that confused me. Then they tried to tell me how arrears work and that was incorrect. If we get paid weekly then that would mean I wouldn’t receive my first check till 2 weeks later. In this instance, I haven’t received my check in going on 4 weeks. I would not recommend working for this company at all. Save yourself the trouble. The man (Fundock) who hired me does not respond to any messages you may have and leaves you guessing. I had to drive to the Tampa office to see what was going on, because I hadn’t received my offer letter or schedule. 0/10 do not recommend

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.
