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

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
