      Worked for this company in the past decided to apply again this year, Was offered a post assignment and was training with the supervisor she had asked me do I like it here at the post and what do I think about it, after several rounds patrolling on feet the whole outside/inside my feet was hurting me the supervisor was informed we all was sitting in the office together, I let her know that I'm not going to be able to do it, she said ok and stood up and was going to ****** me out the building until I forgot my jacket and she had an employee ****** me out the building, The main office was notified and said I abandoned my post because I asked to go home, not now time I told the supervisor I wanted to go home, But I said how did I abandoned my post the Hr lady said due to asking to go home and not finishing my shift, I was hoping I would be able to be out on another post with less walking due to having foot problems and recently had foot surgery recovering from that, Allied in the past was a great place to work when I was living in Ft. Worth Tx but Temple location not so much on the way I was treated

      The company paid me at least $650 less than the real pay for one month of work in the summer 2025. The company says the pay is $17 per hour. However, the company actually paid me $11 per hour. This is a big scam. I am so frustrated. I called the company regarding the pay but nobody responded to me.

      Allied Universal Security is not a good company to work for. Most of the managers are only interested in their bonuses. Your checks keep being short. Bad treatment if you complain and unfair treatment. Nepotism is also an issue in this company. You send messages and call the manager and you get no replies. Not good for business.

      They DON'T care about us. The contractors care more and take care us of more. They so was to much Favoritism, you have to be ***** ***** with someone high up. Lord help you if you have something going on in your personal life that should have stayed behind closed door at the office. Some thing with any thing medical. ***** what's that. With in a hour of talking to Account manager, the whole site had learned what was going on. We do our jobs as post orders tell us, but then we are told we are NOT doing our job correctly. I am sorry not running after anything. Lightning alerts we have to stand outside in pouring rain as lightning strikes less the ***************** steel toe boots. There are really so many cons at the site I am currently working. To many to name

      Allied Universal Ct Branch is one of the most toxic offices. My site is Union Account and the Mgmt of site plays favors with overtime. One of my coworkers hoards bottles and cans collected from the garbage. Site manager is afraid to address the issue with my coworker and he wants us to ignore it. We have had numerous bug issues at this account and nothing gets addressed. ***** heli Mgmt at the main office protects this person and everything gets swept under the rug. Anyone who reports an issue gets the silent treatment. Disgusting

      I am writing this review to report concerning behavior by two of your employees, who work at the ****** *************************. Despite having no professional or jurisdictional ties to my business, they have repeatedly engaged in harassment, including verbal abuse (cursing, provocation), and actions that appear motivated by undisclosed incentives from my competitors. Specific incidents include: - Attempting to provoke confrontations near my cart. - Using aggressive language and curses unrelated to her duties. - Interfering with my business operations without justification. This conduct is unprofessional, unethical, and potentially illegal (given allegations of bribery). I urge you to investigate promptly, as their actions reflect poorly on your company and create unsafe conditions.
