Pros

They are always hiring, and the pay is decent if your going to school or something, but you can't live make a living of it. Depending on where you work, the work load can be minimal.

Cons

Everything is dictated by clients that contract out alliedbarton. So, if the client wants to u to wear long sleeves and black pants in 100 degree weather for a mall cop position then that's what they get. The company has absolutely no concern for its employees. You are what I like to call expendable. My location has swept sexual harassment allegations under the rug, treated employees unfairly, and is constantly added tasks and work to employees; regardless of what is contracted between the client and alliedbarton. Now, this will very between work sites, but the site I am at is completely undermining it's employees. The employees at my job site have even been told by a former supervisor that out security director believes us all to be complete dumbasses. I have a lot more to say about this company, but I think we all get the idea. It is what you make of it, and it all depends on the site you get.

Pros

Some of the people you meet are cool and you make real good connections with the professional guards (not a lot, but i got lucky)

Cons

*Management doesn't answer their phones *Management don't want to help you address the issues onsite unless the manager of that site has an issue. *Rude and non responsive office. *Operations managers and client managers are useless. (Their assistants do a better job than they do) *The guards are not the priority to management and the company. Very childish and hostile environment. *A lack of structure, communication and support.
