AlliedBarton Security Services Employer Reviews

i love allied barton the people and staff are wonderful to work with

Like every working day i am always ready to meet the challanges of my job. But Friday June 14, 2013 was incredibly challanging. There were not many visitors on site, so i thought i would not have to worry about alarms. But it turned out that the new security officers caused so many alarms, and it was my task as control room operator to to pull up reader, – more... acknowledgement and video reports to ascertain the cause of the alarms and resolve trouble tickets arising from such alarms. It was a very busy day for me and i could not take break because i was trying to accomplish my task otherwise i am to blame if those tickets escalate. it would look like a good day if you just have to monitor cameras and write routine reports on a work day. But i really love my security job because i have a chance of learning new skills that will make me confident working in similar situations – less
