The application process is no different than any other Security Company.  You will have to answer 117 questions after doing an online profile.  This can take up to 2 or more hours.  They will then call you in for "Orientation" which is nothing more than filling out I-9 and a TON of paperwork and spending up to 8 hours watching videos (if you do not have a guard card already).  THIS IS NOT PAID!  I think they are more interested in getting money from you for your guard card.


After all of this, you ARE NOT guaranteed a position, or a post.  They may send you to interview with a prospective client but you still have to go back to the office everytime for a referral.  This is NO DIFFERENT than a placement agency.


I know people who work for Universal Pro who are quite satisfied.  However, this is just to inform potential candidates that your hopes might be built up for nothing. 


My advice: get your guard card on your own online.  Don't pay a so-called "security" company to "help" you get your career started.  They just want your money.
