Pros

There are no good reasons to work for this company. They took over the contract at our site and have screwed up everything imaginable. We just hope they'll lose the contract eventually, so we can be free of them. They are utterly incompetent and without ethics.

Cons

Outright lies, pay shortages, non responsive administration, misleading policy statements. This company is about one thing, acquiring contracts. Once they're in, the security department goes to hell. No respect for seniority, scheduling debacles, stupidity, ignorance. Worst company I've ever worked for.

Pros

Hours were okay. Not a bad work life balance.

Cons

I was terminated for a manufactured reason. I was unfortunate enough to work at the Amazon facility at Helgeson Road in Madison, a contract Universal has now lost. I was merely doing my job on a day I was the only one of three security guards to arrive to work on time at 4:45 am. My colleagues overslept, were sick or otherwise came in three hours late for work. I was made the fall guy after an Amazon manager wrongfully assumed I was forbidding the workers from entering workspace during the time before my senior colleagues finally bothered to show up for work. A horrible experience and a textbook example of lousy management from both Universal and Amazon.
