Pros

You get paid...eventually. Benefits work.

Cons

All of their processes are broken. The branch contacts are unresponsive. They send you to trainings that have been cancelled and then don't answer your calls or emails. If you are a regular guard, it probably works out fine. But if you have to travel or submit an expense report or manage payroll, Allied seems to do everything in their power to make things as difficult as possible. It feels as if they have been in business a matter of days and are still figuring out how managed services/HR works. Lastly, if you aren't Facebook, they send you the worst personnel to fill posts.

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
