A Security Job at Allied Universal: Opportunity or Trap?

The Security Officer Network's guide to making the decision: Should I take a security guard job at Allied? Allied Universal is a giant in the American private security industry, often offering an accessible entry point into security jobs. However, the company's expansive, corporate nature isn't pleasant. While there are opportunities to learn, gain experience, and potentially leverage the position for future career development, it's critical for individuals to navigate the role with clear goals and a strategic career plan. The work environment, influenced by corporate policy and bureaucratic inefficiencies, impedes on-the-ground operations and cultivate an unenthusiastic work culture. However, despite the potential downsides, with the right mindset, a brief stint at Allied Universal can serve as a valuable stepping stone in a security career."
