Pros

-Decent pay and benefits -Typically easy work if that's what you are looking for

Cons

-How well the job goes can depend on number of things such as post location, hours, issues that you deal with, call-offs, etc. -Security work in general and job satisfaction is often dependent on co-workers and how reliable they are. If people call-off or don't show up, you may be the one left on the hook to cover.

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.
