      Security Guard Interview

      22 Dec 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Scranton, PA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Allied Universal (Scranton, PA) in Sept 2018

      Interview

      After i applied they called me to schedule an interview. So i called back and talked to someone from New York. They said they would send the information for the job site trough text to me. They never did. So i called back after waiting a couple of days demonstrating motivation. After that he provided me with the site details. I went to the job site for the interview and also did some shadowing to understand the position. After that i went back to my home. I'm a combat veteran with multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan providing real security in dangerous situations. So after I went home i called the person from New York to let him know that i went to the interview. Well i felt like he did not want me as a prospective employee. He was rushing the whole conversation like trying to be done. Saying that he had others for the job. My advice is stay away from this company. I have been boots on the ground with rifle in hand and i did not felt welcome by this company.

      Application

      I interviewed at Allied Universal

      Interview

      Very easy. Personal experience was that they sat me down, talked about the job, and it was pretty in and out. From there, I had a secondary sit-down with the supervisor at the office I was assigned, we finalized some things, got a permanent job site assigned near home, and that was it.

      I interviewed at Allied Universal

      Interview

      I received an email asking me to come to an interview. Afterwards, I took the interview and had to do multiple screenings and certificate checks. They are particular about making sure you have all the necessary licenses. If you do not have a specific license, you will go through additional training before starting your job.
