2.1This company and security companies in general are all a joke.
Allied only allows you to use revolvers at armed accounts!!! Seriously? So when I use all six shots that my revolver has and the bad guy still has rounds left what am I supposed to do....through my gun at him. What idiocracy.
There is no such thing as a high level security guard position. All security officers are looked at by Allied Barton, Customers, On Lookers, and Clients as worthless dead beats. They also know that we are useless in the advent of anything serious taking place. That is why nothing is reinvested into security officers.
That is why as a security officer:
You are paid little to nothing.
Never trained on anything that would allow you to take action.
Usually receive no training anyways.
Don't get to partake in company wide bonuses.
Usually never receive an annual pay raise.
Don't get paid more for having more education.
Don't get paid more for having more experience.
Don't get to keep you'r "earned pay rate," if transferred or reassigned to another clients site.
Don't have any say in how or why security procedures should be implemented at the site level.
Are never a part of company wide changes.
Have to deal with managers who have no leadership skills, no concept of legal premises, and do a typically horrible job at communication.
Work horrible hours: Nights, Weekends, and Rotating Shifts often management expects its officers to always fill whatever openings they have.
Officers are treated like cattle, numbers, and materialistic "products."
1The company at the time was run by people who literally just got hired to be supervisors, or just didn't have a clue on how to do their job right. You get written up being 1 minute late. If late 3 times in a year you're fired. Doesn't matter if there's a serious car accident with the car on fire with debris on the road blocking traffic. Doesn't matter how bad traffic is with the rain. Doesn't matter that you must park literally 1 mile from the job site since they are more strict on parking than city parking enforcement. Oh but overtime is mandatory. You work some very odd shifts and not uncommon to be at the site for over 14 hours. They will tell you you can't leave. Doesn't matter if you tell them the schedule you can work. That's why they got sued for breaking all kinds of labor laws. I didn't like how they managed the sites. It could of been better. You're not seen as a person. You're just a body that needs to fill a post. No opportunities to move up. If you apply for a particular site they tell you that you're better for another site. Doesn't matter if the other site is closer to home. You get treated pretty badly to the point you end up looking for other work. Got called into the office one time what they call tardiness not clocking in on a phone on time. You're late if you clock in 1 bloody minute over the start time. Now multiple people must clock in at a very specific time in order to start the shift. If it takes longer than 1 minute talking to the sign in service you're late. You're seen as lazy. I compare the job to Amazon warehouse. If you're 10 seconds over doing you're tasks you're gone. Park in the wrong spot. They tow your car and fire you. You get treated so bad to the point you start getting mad yourself at home. Not worth it.
As with all places of employment, there are positive and negative aspects of this location. The greatest challenges at this site deal largely with retention and advancement within the company. With so many exceptional individuals working at this site it is hard to promote people to positions at the site that reflect those individuals true potential. Additionally, it seems rare to learn of a person from this site moving up within the company. This personally surprises me given the caliber of the employees here. Retention is a challenge, as more people either quit or are removed from the site as opposed to being promoted within the company. These facts tend to have a negative affect on morale.
