Allied Universal Employee Reviews for Security Officer

"The reason for this review is the lack of communication and lack of leadership among the management at Allied Universal. A schedule change needs to be clearly communicated from the employer to the employee. I never received a phone call, a text message or an email yet they tried to intimidate me and blame me for not showing up to a shift only management decided to change without any knowledge of this change granted to the employees. The worst part is that management did not own up to their mistake they continued to throw blame at the employee. Allied Universal the managers don't know and don't care about the employees that do a productive and good job from the less productive and unreliable workers. Some employees earn more money per hour for doing the exact same job as someone else who is receiving less pay. It is possible to find a position where you make it work so it isn't the worst job in the world but I know it isn't the best. Another issue is that the management goes over what is said instead of the facts. If someone is using the restroom and it is reported that the person is not at their job management already assumes you violated company rules.. The real violation is denying someone to take a dump when they need to!"

"This company is terrible to work for! you don't get paid for the hours that you turn in, they decide for you, no vacation even though they say you get one but you don't and they won't pay you after you have accumulated your time."

"I’ve worked for allied for almost a year and almost every paycheck would be incorrect and then they give you problems when you report it like you are the one that’s wrong They kept me on schedule for 3 months and didn’t let me work when I finally was able to go back to work at a different site they messed up every check. they are nasty and don’t treat employees right as long as their paychecks are correct they don’t care this is unacceptable you might as well find a job that will pay you right and on time even if the pay is lower than allied pay It’s just not worth the heartache and mental pain they all put you through. My supervisor is a great woman who tries to help employees at her site but they won’t even pay her correctly and I have recordings from every one of them to prove they are intentionally not fixing my time"

"Matike George Blake ABC Entertainment Group Sitting in front of the television at the tender age of four, I watched a man dressed in all white walk in a dusty club, as orphaned children stand on boxes to watch the pale gentleman glide across the dance floor. Though these children were down on their luck, their faces lit up as they studied the moves of the smooth dancer in the club. After watching the magnetic performance, the orphans attempted the choreography and performed it well. This unforgettable moment was from the Michael Jackson's film Moonwalker. The scene is the Smooth Criminal music video and it inspired me at a young age because of its great musical storyline. The message of creativity and inspiration no matter one's age left a powerful impression on me. After seeing Moonwalker, I knew I wanted to be in a field where I could be innovative and engage others to find their passion from within. I knew I wanted a career in television as a producer, director, and an editor. I will focus on the three main aspects of producing, directing, and editing because I will love to improve my video production skills through your program. The Production Associates Program will help me hone my craft in digital filmmaking through expanding my knowledge in video production in the professional field. The passion that I have for television production is that I love to create impactful stories in my films. The ABC television sitcoms that inspires me the most throughout my life are Full House, Family Matters and The Wonder Years. These sitcoms help aspire me to appreciate the creative of using important family values to create a great sitcoms. Through learning family values through my family and your influential ABC sitcoms has help me reach personal achievement in my life that was challenging."

"I've worked for Allied Universal for 6 Months. While working with the company it always has been a great experience. I feel this job came into my life to get me ready for this world. I can explain it as the job showed me how important it is to work in a team that really makes sure your okay and not floating around. I have taken charge from time to time on Roles that are important but honestly, I love working on a team where we all know the importance of getting the job done right. I would from time to time feel like later everything I do is just muscle memory at most moments."

"Your work will ALWAYS be under-appreciated by your local station/post supervisor. If you are blessed with a caring supervisor, you will be fine, however, life is hell if you're local post supervisor does not respect you and your individual needs."
