Employment

I would say think twice before you apply. The company needs to work out some internal issues first.

Thank you for the heads up.
Just a short time researching them I have learned a lot.
I hope they they are learning too.

SOME INTERNAL ISSUES!!!!!! THEY HAVE MORE PROBLEMS THEN THEY KNOW HOW TO HANDLE!!!!

THEY NEED TO STOP FINDING LAZY BUMS FROM JOB FAIRS AND START HIRING EXPERIENCED PEOPLE!!!!!

Are all the applications read. I filled out a application and the least the company can do is reply that they have received the application.

What do you expect for ten bucks an hour third shift?

It's pretty obvious Allied doesn't respect their employees. I've never worked for such a disdainful company. Account Managers are rude and arrogant, and this is consistent enough to suggest company policy.

Well, here are some facts: I'm more educated and more professional than any Allied Barton account manager that I've encountered, including my current one. I have this job not because I aspired to be a "professional security officer", but because bad luck and unfortunate circumstances made it necessary.

I just had to call in sick for tonight's shift (I've only done that once before in a year of employment, and both times I called in at least 5 hours before time to clock in.); I was met with impatience and hostility. I won't tolerate that from this man much longer. He's got no reason to treat me like that. His perceived power comes from title, title from a job most people just wouldn't want, not from any sort of impressive achievement.

But this is the average story from Allied Barton guards about their account managers and the company as a whole. They're unfriendly and truly attempt to make you feel like dirt. Don't work for them if you have a choice.

OK, that wasn't exactly the most effective illustration, but I was sick when I typed it. Regardless, Allied Barton has a reputation for treating their employees like dirt.

That they do. As an employee...not forever, hopefully...I hear it pretty much across the board. Their attitude toward their employees is one of condescension and belittlement bordering on volatility. And the most often heard response to any attempt at contact is, "I don't want to hear about it. Don't call me." They have this sophisticated network of buck passing that makes it nearly impossible to voice any concerns, and when you do get hold of the "right" person, they seem more or less aggravated that you managed to reach them.

Their account managers are obnoxious morons whose only leadership skill...if you can call it that...is intimidation, causing employees to develop resentment and disregard, rather than a desire to achieve and impress.

Avoid Allied Barton unless you have no choice. Even then, find a choice.

This company is a joke........managers are what they are and behave the way they all do because they overworked and underpaid like all employees with allied barton, an yes they are cocky and ridiculusly fat and clumsy and still with aims to be someone in this dead end mercenary company. I currently work for them momentarily i hope......and out of 300+ employees in the NW Indiana region I know for a fact that only 7 to 8 % have been with the company for more than 2 years the rest are new hires......they have an excessively dramatic turn over.....people come and go on the daily basis. As long as having a little respect......forget about it, you wont see it but from maybe 1 or 2 people.......no benefits, no medical, no 401k or investment plan or even share holding stock, no vacation, no personal days, no raises, can't request days off.......in short...no incentive or reason for anyone to last more than it can take you to find something else. eso es too, eso es too eso es todo amigos!..(Tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha that's all folks!:)

Ha, I got a job at Allied. They told me how many opportunities there were. So far, I have no set schedule, no set shift, and they change the schedule every few days. I have made plans then been told my hours have been changed and I "have to come in." Also, the corperate office messed up my gov't. clearance paper work so I missed out on 32 hours of paper work. The manager called and appologized and stated that Allied corperate admitted to the mistake, but they will not reimburss me, not one dime. I took this job, and pay cut, so I could work first shift closer to home with my new family. I am now wokring "in the interm" 28.89miles from home working mainly 3p-11p or 7a-7p. Stay away, stay away!!!

Tip of the iceberg, my friend. They are also nortious for short-changing you for OT and holiday pay.

Wow...that is very strange!!!!!! I applied one evening and two days later I was called for an interview. Hmmmmm...sounds to me like that you didn't have any credentials or from what you listed on your resume, nothing you had down interested them. So, why take a slam at Allied for that????? The first thing you have to do with any job is show CREDENTIALS!!!!! Why should they waste their time interviewing people that have none if very little law enforcement background. I mean really...can you blame them. Let's be realistic!!!!!!
