Pros

Allied is great if you want to get hired and on a site quickly and are trying to get your foot in the door in the security world.

Cons

This company does not have the backs of it's employees, in the course of less than two months on a site I saw half of my coworkers let go or asked to leave, from entry level guards manning the gates to the account manager at the site. Somehow despite this turnover there is still not a lot of room for advancement due to them having a very flat org chart.

Pros

Some of the people you meet are cool and you make real good connections with the professional guards (not a lot, but i got lucky)

Cons

*Management doesn't answer their phones *Management don't want to help you address the issues onsite unless the manager of that site has an issue. *Rude and non responsive office. *Operations managers and client managers are useless. (Their assistants do a better job than they do) *The guards are not the priority to management and the company. Very childish and hostile environment. *A lack of structure, communication and support.
