Pros

Generally always able to get hired for something as long as you didn’t burn a bridge here before.

Cons

Extremely poor communication for top down, the Artificial Intelligence LISA is a nightmare for employees and managers to maneuver through. Branch management is completely disconnected unless you have ANY Non-billable Overtime and then they are all over you. I had a contracted pay rate increase slated for 7/1/24 and neither the client manager nor the branch manager will tell me why I still haven’t received it 3+ months later but they are billing the client as if they are paying me the new rate! That demonstrates a complete lack of integrity on behalf of the entire organization! I work 10-14 hour days without ANY recognition from AUS but receive a ton of accolades from my client as does my team. I love my job for my client but am hoping they put their contract out to bid soon or reconsider bringing us “in house”!

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.
