Pros

Maybe a workable schedule, some guards are easy going, connections to other jobs at the post, weekly pay.

Cons

Extremely cheap company, managers are clueless and uneducated, CEO takes all the money from your post, dangerous job at times and under appreciated for what we do, cheap cheap cheap cheap. Contract pays Allied $50-$100 hourly then allied pays guard 15 hourly. Clients pay a lot to have us allied sucks it all away and doesn't care about you. Allied has billions of dollars but will cry when you work overtime and won't pay livable wages.

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.
