Pros

The salary is pretty good and you can get alot of overtime hours at times; depending on what site(s) you work at & what other officers there - the work should be pretty straight forward & get along pretty good with fellow officers; there is alot of online certification(s) to follow when working for Allied Universal but it is very educational & can be very helpful in your daily work at your assigned work site too.

Cons

Depending on your assigned site(s) - Getting along with certain irate co-workers which caused friction & resentment at times with officers; Higher cost for company medical benefits.

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.
