Pros

There are many pros working here with Allied Universal at their site at Burnaby, Have flexibility of working in different shifts, Management is really good and co-operative. Since new supervisor Mr. Stephen took charge working environment became more friendly. No politics, all members of the team are friendly and help each other and don't hesitate to ask for guidance if needed in any matter. Though working at this site since 2016, Its like a routine job for me, I always enjoy working here. I not only know this site and most of the senior management of the companies very well but also drivers who work for them that really helps me to handle every thing easily without any problem. Being senior person at this site, I always feel good to guide and help juniors and new comer security officers. We have every facility at our office. Pay is always on time. I feel proud to be the part of Allied Universal Team.

Cons

in Cons only thing I can say at this point is that Pay is bit less compare to other security companies.

Pros

Easy. If you find a spot that works for you, you can get really comfortable. My site has been peaceful 99% of the time. There's always new opportunities showing up if you need a change.

Cons

You could get stuck with less desirable positions or schedules. Dealing with management can be a bad experience. It took weeks between my original interview and training before I could pick up my uniform and actually start working on site.

Pros

there is nothing good to say

Cons

I was offered a position and hired, and went through a month long process of doing every single step to be proactive in working this position. I submitted my fingerprints did my background check sat through 16 hours of online training that was unpaid staring at a computer for eight hours straight at a time with only a 30 minute break. Then I went in for the new employee orientation, where I sat there for another four hours and completed every single on boarding step received my badge got a uniform only to be told after those four hours that the position I was hired for is no longer available this company is the most unprofessional uncommunicative company I have ever had the displeasure of potentially working for had someone communicate communicated to me throughout that whole month that the position that I was hired for is no longer available I would’ve found employment elsewhere, but they decided to dig me around for over a month.
