Pros

Hire anyone they want just to get you in then your just another body.

Cons

Zero communication, low pay rates, poor insurance, horrible management, no one is professional at any branch location and they run the offices any way they want. You can never get through to speak with your operations manager and its always new people they have take over the accounts therefore its impossible for them to even know who are no matter how long you've worked for them. They will give you a post to work then lose the account which makes you responsible on moving work locations leaving you no choice but to work where they replace you. If you miss more than 3 days thats an automatic write up. I quit working for allied universal and now work for a better security company at a much organized friendly work place and environment. I will never again work for allied universal, long beach branch to be exact or any other.

Pros

Some of the people you meet are cool and you make real good connections with the professional guards (not a lot, but i got lucky)

Cons

*Management doesn't answer their phones *Management don't want to help you address the issues onsite unless the manager of that site has an issue. *Rude and non responsive office. *Operations managers and client managers are useless. (Their assistants do a better job than they do) *The guards are not the priority to management and the company. Very childish and hostile environment. *A lack of structure, communication and support.
