Very simple, with downtime for classwork and things like that. Allied Universal is also laid back relative to other unarmed security companies- They don't pretend we're cops, show up to work and they won't bother you.
Cons
Terrible pay with awful-to-nonexistent benefits: A few days of PTO, terrible insurance that takes a year to access, they don't even match 401k... These guys will hire [anyone] who can pass a drug test, which is a blessing and a curse.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We hope to use this as an opportunity to reflect and work toward meaningful improvements.
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.
