Pros

They have a great work core values, communication and I really liked the uniforms, very professional.

Cons

Took too long to get a full time position. As a personal cons I will like to add that they should assign security professional that live in proximity to the assigned security sites.

Pros

Hours were okay. Not a bad work life balance.

Cons

I was terminated for a manufactured reason. I was unfortunate enough to work at the Amazon facility at Helgeson Road in Madison, a contract Universal has now lost. I was merely doing my job on a day I was the only one of three security guards to arrive to work on time at 4:45 am. My colleagues overslept, were sick or otherwise came in three hours late for work. I was made the fall guy after an Amazon manager wrongfully assumed I was forbidding the workers from entering workspace during the time before my senior colleagues finally bothered to show up for work. A horrible experience and a textbook example of lousy management from both Universal and Amazon.
