"This 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.""
