Allied Universal reviews

always work. provides employment for low skilled, low education officers and management . My client manager has manager has nearly 1000 shifts to fill every week, that's nearly 8000 labor hours with good, high quality, reliable employees. yea! Good luck with that!

Because of the massive amounts of debt the company is carrying ,$14 billion dollars, from overpaid acquisitions , almost no in person training or education.

we really don't have many benefits,

most branch managers secretly harbor a lot of anger and resentment towards the company.

slow down on the CCDN'S , WRITE UPS. Creating massive anger. Forces quality people to leave. Then the company is left with all the trash.

minimal prep is needed, decent clothing.

Livable with overtime pay. Not a lot. Hours have always been correct. But first 24 hours of employment made 8 bucks per hr. but like i said company is barely profitable.

yes, many races, colors, nationalities, Hey they need people! Constant write ups and threats of write ups causes people to flee. Almost every site I've worked at, Threats about being disciplined.

In the beginning I made quite a few friends, but then many were fired, When all they needed was some face to face communication. So the company has to hire more people to replace, and the extra expense. no really its the truth. people are terminated needlessly, Now, I really dont try to make friends anymore.

Some O.T. if you always say yes including little to no advance notice.

Management is poor. Little to no communications with employees unless you initiate it. Transferring from one contract to another takes months.

I am able to work primarily on the side of town I live in.

The former branch manager was a good person, open door policy. The managers didn't take it so well. Many considered it going over their heads.

More field training to include firearms practise for commissioned officers at a minimum of doing it quarterly, not once every 2 years prior to when your license expires

It was a cold call on my part. I had to wait on the state to receive my license prior to the actual hiring. The manager knew the company where I received my certification. So it was basically, in like flint.

Depending on the contracts the pay is well below a living wage and below the national average.

I'm all for it. Diversity within a company makes it a better enviorment, and builds a stronger work force.

Knowing what my abilities are, working on both my strengths and weaknesses constantly while on or off my shift.

easy to get in anyone could get hired

i worked in with the Allied Universal in Rosemoney and our HR Liz and my newbie manager at UL Josh Lawrence don’t respect hard worker and don’t care about employees they’re racists inadequate and under qualified for the positions they fill

nothing

Allied Universal need a whole rework on priotizing worke and rooting out the shoulder rubbing suits in office such as Josh Lawrence and Liz with HR in Rosemonet Allied Universal

nothing anyone can get hired

no they’ll lie and say it is but it isn’t

they’ll spam hire black people to get the diversity check and as a black man i don’t think they hire any qualified non ethnics either

leaving going home

None

This is the most redundant company to ever work for. If you want a case system from 2001 and micromanaging 1 minute payroll entries, this is your place. Plus there's 16 case managers, ya have questions or problems, good luck.

They send out stupid pointless messages of the CEO rambling.

Less managers, more helpful to their employees, update the old fashion system.

Same as every other interview

Low

Poor, white men that were former law enforcement

Coming home and not having to deal with them.

Weekly pay

Not much opportunity for employment growth or promotion. Can take quite a while to receive the license from the state. Medical/vision/dental insurance provided as an "benefit" from the company is definitely not worth it. State insurance provides more benefits than the private insurance which is just sad.

Weekly pay. Management is usually understanding of needing a certain day off for educational purposes.

Paycheck

Everything else, metrics on things that don't matter.

Pay and perk spots

You can sometimes reach them

I would focus on things that actually matter.

Hired in from another company after Allied took over our worksite.

For level of responsibility very low.

No problem

Quitting time and weekends when not getting calls all the time.

Always paid every week including overtime.

No consistency to schedule!!!

Co-workers and job security if you could be comfortable with an inconsistent schedule.

I never met the CEO.

Developing a consistent schedule.

White shirt and tie,listened,comprehended,and asked questions.

$21.00 hoirly

No problem for me.

Knowing that I met all the criteria and the scope of my work.

Get pay on time

No one to defend the guards. Quick to replace.

32 BJ

It is a paying job but other than that it us too big

Very disorganized, having to enter payroll to get paid, not being able to get problems solved in various departments, billing, etc

Working at home

Nothing good they just feed you lies and there is a big smokescreen about problems and they are clueless

if you are willing to bend over backwards for little reward, this is the place for you

managementpretty much does not exist, nor does HR

some of the supervisors/captains know what they are doing

I have never had any contact with them. They do not ask for individual opinions.

Get rid of the very young managers in favor of those who know how to keep employees happy.

Don't even bother - look elsewhere

possible overtime.

write ups, very heavy write ups, make you feel worthless. Everyone disciplining everyone. I've never seen anything like it.

wearing a uniform, sometime getting a free coffee at the convenience store.

Gay friendly. other than write ups and uniform ordering they don't do much.

Do something, Talk, Lead, Teach. Encourage. Answer Questions. But do Something Positive.

Be Clean and educate yourself.

The sense of belonging. It's something you need to work on, it does not just happen. For the most part the people are great.

Modernized rates of pay with the HAYS system.

Perkopolis

They are modern thinking and always open to speak with

Be Open and Honest

Ensure that current employees are treated as fairly as new employees.

The atmosphere and the clients.

Working multiple posts & overtime

Weekly pay

Not much opportunity for employment growth or promotion. Can take quite a while to receive the license from the state. Medical/vision/dental insurance provided as an "benefit" from the company is definitely not worth it. State insurance provides more benefits than the private insurance which is just sad.

Weekly pay. Management is usually understanding of needing a certain day off for educational purposes.

working with some of my peers

favoritism and verbal mistreatment

the percent off at various stores

Benefits were great

Management lacks leadership ; company sacrifices quantity of quality ; do not let you take or cash out time accrued .

Providing service for the clients. Making sure they are satisfied.

Management team do not communicate and are big liars.

None. Again management need to be train on telling the truth.

Great team

Constant change of schedule

Discounts at stores and restaurants

I love how laid back the job is. Been with allied going on 3 years

The way the head people act with us

Everything

The pay the benefits with it being a state to state company being able to apply for different positions
