Pros

There are many pros working here with Allied Universal at their site at Burnaby, Have flexibility of working in different shifts, Management is really good and co-operative. Since new supervisor Mr. Stephen took charge working environment became more friendly. No politics, all members of the team are friendly and help each other and don't hesitate to ask for guidance if needed in any matter. Though working at this site since 2016, Its like a routine job for me, I always enjoy working here. I not only know this site and most of the senior management of the companies very well but also drivers who work for them that really helps me to handle every thing easily without any problem. Being senior person at this site, I always feel good to guide and help juniors and new comer security officers. We have every facility at our office. Pay is always on time. I feel proud to be the part of Allied Universal Team.

Cons

in Cons only thing I can say at this point is that Pay is bit less compare to other security companies.

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.
