Not worth it
Once Allied Universal took over for G4S it just became difficult to work here. Would be a decent place to work if they paid fair market value for certain sites and if management was supportive and professional.

Overworked and underpaid
They’ll work you to death and ask you for more. Don’t expect to have a personal life if you take a job here. It took me years to get back to a normal life after I quit

Toxic work environment
Horrible management , barely any wage increase, corrupt work environment. So incentives or appreciation for your hard work. Long shift standing for long period of time
