Vantaggi

*Management is somewhat friendly *Coworkers are easy to get along with *Willing to negotiate with pay

Svantaggi

*When I was first hired, they wanted me as a full-time receptionist. Then after I got the job and did my interview, they told me that I wasn't going to be a receptionist, just a receptionist breaker. And my hours changed on me too, which wasn't okay. *Call offs are impossible. You have to call four hours in advance in order for it to be excused, which to me is ridiculous. I'm not saying to call in like 15 minutes before the start of your shift but at least make it 1-2 hours before, not 4. *Good luck asking for time off. I asked for a few days off well in advance (three months) and I was denied because they just would not cover for that time. *To me, the way things are run seem VERY unorganized. For some people who wanted my position, they were able to train in three days. For me, it took almost 3 weeks. I understand wanting to make sure I know everything, but you're wasting the time of the other employees who have things to do. *If you have a family emergency/get sick at work, you run the risk of getting written up for it if you leave early. *Good luck being a female at my site. Every little thing is scrutinized, and you're constantly wondering if you're gonna get talked to. I was wearing a shirt that covered up my shoulders, no cleavage, and yet I still got talked to because it was "inappropriate and provocative". I even showed it to my extremely conservative grandma and she liked it, so it's really irritating when other employees are wearing pretty much the same thing. *You WILL get written up for not smiling. I found that out yesterday. I was sitting in a lobby and I didn't hear my supervisor come in, so I didn't immediately look up at her and greet like she wanted me to, and she said she was either going to write me up or send me home due to my attitude. I did end up saying hi and I tried to apologize but that wasn't good enough. *****************UPDATE (05/30)******************* *Last week, I filed a sexual harassment complaint against someone who made me feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable (to the point where I didn't want to come to work). Today, my supervisor told me not to file one again, because I'll be perceived as a "snitch" and a "trouble-maker". I am going to HR about this, and will possibly be taking legal action if it happens again. I plan on switching companies immediately. I haven't even been here a full month yet.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
