Pros

pay and benefits - working with others

Cons

I don't see when the weather is bad outside, they have their guards standing outside. Rain was falling, with sleet and cold and Allied Universal have their security officers outside. There are people that are older and cannot stand outside. Then the guards get in trouble. This is outrageous!!! As a concerned citizen, it's not good to see the guards outside. Guards are posted outside and no one is in the bank! Ridiculous!!

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.
