AlliedBarton Security Services Employer Reviews

More than just a retrofit. The new building at Summit in Oakland is more than just a pretty face. Its a state of the art medical building and medical equipment and staff training is second to none.

By far the most disorganized and unprofessional organization I have ever worked for. Little to no support or training, basically it is trial by fire which I do not have a problem with if you are trained sufficiently for your assignment.

DONT WORK HERE. This place will use you and never think twice about it.

Learned a lot of skills that I can use further in my career. The workers at the Hospital were friendly. The company I work for though dosent offer much if any room for advancement, Benefits or pay raise.

I have been working for this company for 10 years. I have not be promoted more than once. THere is no oppourtunity for advancement at all. the best thing to do is to use this job to get a career. the account managers are juvinile and do not take their wmployees seriously. get in and get out.

Work with a high amount of guests.

The tackt it takes to speak with people.

Management sucks.

Most coworkers are cool, some are crybabies.

The people you work with can be difficult.

The weather out here is very nice.

Allied Barton is a fairly good company to work for. The paid scale a little better then other security company. I enjoyed my time there. Most Management will treat you well. Be careful of your contract manager!!

Typical security job. They put you out in a polyester uniform and you do mundane tasks. No raises. A survival job.

Allied Barton is a good company to work for but there seems to be a "preference" (law enforcement, male & military) in whom they promote. I admit I've learned skills I never thought to acquire and I've made a few "friends". The hours aren't available nor are the proper training. For me, it "pays the bills".

good luck they stick you all bad accounts they pay you nothing then they find ways to pull you off accounts there management is really bad there corporate office is even worse the basic guard dont mean nothing to them just a piece of trash and there health insurance is no good

Was replaced after working 15 years at the same location. Was replaced with an outsider that had never worked at my facility (even though client praised me), but her cousin works for the client. After 6 months she is not trained, yet I was told that anyone that is not trained after 2 week gets their pay moved to 7.20 hour. It never happened to her. – more...  Also they play favorites, they promoted someone at the Alvin Texas location that uses racial slurs. Management sneaks around site and trys to create hostility, lies about pay, lies about vacation, lies about promotions. If you enjoy being bullied and micromanaged by Pasadena Texas Management, this place is for you. – less

The Cleveland office really goes out of their way to take care of their guards. Great people to work for. Just wish the pay was slightly higher

Not the most exciting job in the world. A lot of standing around and doing nothing. When stuff actually does happen, you're not too involved.

Your pretty much your own boss, the only time I hear from my manager is if there's a schedule issuse.

This company only uses you when they need you. They will have you drive to various locations to fulfil their needs and keep their contracts. It is understandlable, but not good for the employee.

My night at work begins with checking out the proper keys to give to my "rover" to begin inspections of the entire building. I monitor cameras and tend to tenants that need assistance. I've learned how to handle an emergency situation and procedures during a fire,bad weather, and how to properly evacuate tenants. Management in this company could use – more...  improvement. My co-workers are all courteous and professional. The hardest part of my job is when there is an emergency in the building and tenanst are calling my desk phone asking questions that I can not answer. – less

Working, most often, only 32 hours per week. Working from 2400 hours to 0800 hours. Allowing authorized trucks onto customer's property to drop and pick up trailers. Checking employee's passes as they enter the building in the AM. Noting arrival of managers in the AM. Patrol the warehouse to ensure it's secure.
I have learned importance of following – more...  customer's requests for security coverage.
I have striven to obey management requests for work schedule changes on short notice; and have received requested changes in schedule when asked for.
I have made great efforts to work well with my co-workers when assigned opposite them, and have taken advice from those co-workers senior to me.
The hardest part of the job is working up to 12 hours straight as scheduled.
The most enjoyable part of the job is having good relations with customer management and employees. – less

1. Correspond with client daily via email/phoneregarding any security related issues
2.. Read all daily reports (Incident, Medical Emergency, Abornamallity, Daily Activity)
3. Scheduling/Payroll

Good company. enjoy time there working nights. Being a Supervisor gave me a better knowledge of leadership.

Was great in the begining, then management changed and all ethics and values went down the drain
