You're pretty much describing every security company out there with the exception of a very few. Allied is pretty much the bottom of the barrel for security companies. Easy to get hired and use as a stepping stone to get credentials to move on. Just follow the money and get your bread with who ever pays more.
You should be careful not to get labeled as a job-hopping guard. I would advise guards to carry arms, obtain all your gear, permits, and only leave if you have a better pay scale, say, 2 to 4 bucks.
I've been in Security for 9 years 2 years armed. Allied is probably one of the worst companies I've ever worked for as soon as I got my lvl 3 I was out of there.
Allied was a good place to "cut my teeth" so to speak in the security industry. However, after 17 months with Allied U., I absolutely HAD to leave. Allied is too "big" their own good! They are so AFRAID of liability, that they micro-manage to a FAULT, and make working for them a nightmare! They have goofey uniforms and silly policies. That said, at least i got a good taste of the civilian security industry. Now, I work for a small company that pays well and gives its Patrol Officers, broad latitude and NEVER micro manages. We are entrusted to simply use good judgement and perform our duties. Allied also has a high personnel turn-over. No BUENO!!!
Question: The body armor u are wearing. Was that provided by Allied Universal or is that personally owned by u? I'm trying to get hired on by Allied Universal, Garda etc... :)
You should have no trouble getting hired by allied! 👍Call after you applied online! Allied does not provide body armor or vest, just basic uniform pants and shirt/ jacket/ hats & Beanies.
never escalate, advise them of trespass warning. if they were given previous trespass warning and they continue to trespass it now becomes a criminal trespass and call police.
Hi my name is Christian and l live in Rwanda which is located in East Africa and This is very informative, Does this company hire a foreigner worker? Thank you
@@Securitytips909 Hi Sound good brother! I love being a security guard like you in the united state. I wish I could but lam unable to see that opportunities around me, I was completed my high school diploma and l have good habits and lam currently looking for employment opportunities abroad. What are due process requirements and Eligibility criteria Thank you .
That right they are so unorganized management with payroll they never can paid you the correct paid when you work on a holiday when you call them to correct your paid, they get so upset the best thing you can do is call the branch manager in human resources and you work long hour shift and Allied is at the bottom of the barrel.
@@tessa7778 your kind words are very much appreciated! Thank you!! You definitely should try allied out! It’s an easy job and a great way to getting experience! I was thinking of making a video sharing random experiences at allied. Like a time one of our guards got caught sleeping on the job 😂 or another time some crazy guy was testing me. Haha just good fun stories I think
I carry pepper gel,Taser pulse, and a less lethal pistol. I also always have a pocket knife or fixed knife on me, always have even before security. This specific post doesn’t want us armed with the real deal (Firearms)
Allied Universal in NYC has been hiring migrants with temporary work visas over legal citizens. I applied with Allied about a month ago at the Manhattan main office and could not believe the number of Haitians and Africans (from the continent of Africa) sitting in the waiting area for an interview. I went there in need of a job, and about 2 hours later, I walked out with nothing. If you are a legal citizen, do not waste your time applying with Allied Universal. They only hire migrants. I am former Navy with 18 years of security experience and cannot land a job. The truth is the truth. Allied Universal is a joke in poor taste.
Dudes like this are such a joke. I had to train a guy once that was wearing a vest and had real weapons on him, I was looking at him like you can't actually be serious lmao. I think maybe is cause they couldn't make it as a cop or too scared to try so they get into security and play dress up to at least get a taste of what it would be like.
