    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.

    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!!!

When I got there in lower Manhattan there were People there in different stages of Employment. Like myself I was going through the initial Process some officers were getting there schedules adjusted or getting work for the 1st time. Some officers were receiving uniforms. All this is no problem,However they had 1 officer administering all of this. I walked out because I had to go to work.

    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.
