Pros

Allied truly gives you the resources to succeed, they try their best to support you along your journey into the security field. They gave me an opportunity to grow and gain some valuable experience, and I know being employed by them will open up many more doors down the road.

Cons

Sometimes there can be miscommunication with filing DCJS applications. Usually you just have to remind your Operations Manager to go back thru. They will! The operations managers do have alot on their plates working 7 days a week. So if you dont have the patience to wait it out then maybe its not for you, but they are outstanding with their jobs.

Pros

Once you've networked with the right people it becomes all success and excellence. Through my years of experience with Allied Universal, I was fortunate enough to work with the right accommodations and site placements. I even had a chance to demonstrate supervisor status that I never did before in private security. I think Allied Universal gives chances to anyone eager enough to try gainful employment with opportunities to prove it. One quality pro factor that Allied Universal offers is through your journey of work placements at client sites, one client site will eventually become your primary site by choice to stay permanently as a career.

Cons

Career growth is slow because Allied Universal is humongous as both a company and private corporation. Opportunities don't exist often after getting your Guard Card but if you take the opportunities as an opportunistic, you'll do fine and reach the next stages in bottom management.
