      Experience is valued but not compensated - Security Officer Allied Universal Employee Review

      3.0
      Apr 29, 2017
      Security officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      With the amount of turnover, there is almost always opportunities for overtime. They have 4 options for health insurance which is actually pretty good.

      Cons

      The company literally does not care about individual employees. Best pray you get assigned to a site where either the client wants as little turnover as possible so keeping officer's happy is a priority or an operations manager who views officers as something more than just a required number to fill needed posts. The only chance to increase your salary is to get to a more prestigious site or become a site supervisor. If your operations manager is unprepared for his/her job or worse doesn't care then your paychecks can easily become random and your vacation time will just disappear.

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      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.
