      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.

      They have terrible management. They said they were hiring for one position and put me in another. Don't listen to these liars.

      Jobs a joke Frl from where they hold orientations to event you host. They put you at an event with no knowledge of nothing. You have random people coming to ask you questions about things you dont have knowledge of. Your hired as security so you would think when you enforce rules they would be respected but event staff has more pull than you. ***** ******* is my branch supervisor out of ******** OH I reported an incident to him he completely brushed it off. Matter of fact he even got mad at me called me a privileged kid. Dont work for the company!!! The pay is bullcrap they feed you lies

      Today 01/23/2025 I went into one of the job office sites (**************************) regarding my W2 form. I spoke with *************************** regarding the matter, I told him my reasoning for my visit today which was due to an error that had to be corrected on my W2 form from HR. On my W2 form it showed that I had no federal taxes withheld, which is not true because We went over all my pay stubs together and it shows taxes being taken out of each pay. He also printed all of my pay stubs for me. So why is there no federal withholding on my W2 form? ********* called The HR representative with me present in the room, and she explained the errors occurred due to me filing as Head of Household and that I have 2 dependents. What does me filing head of household and having 2 dependents have to do with anything? That makes no sense. The HR representative explained I would have to email Allied Universal Services explaining my reasoning as to why I need my W2 corrected. Im explaining the whole situation to both of them now so why would I have to do that? I then left the office and explained to my tax preparer what is going on. He to explained to me my W2 form have to be corrected and filing for head of house and having 2 dependents have nothing to do with federal taxes not being shown as taken out on my W2 form. I then texted ********* and informed him what my my tax Preparer have also explained to me. ********* then responded OK friendly reminder like our HR representative mentioned wait about another week or so and see if you get an updated version in the mail, if you get it and there is still nothing in the box or you dont get anything in the mail then email Allied why would I have to wait a week when the matter could have been taken care of right then. I have filed taxes plenty times with other jobs, and what they are doing isnt right and it seems as though they are scamming people because they have excuses. This matter need to be taken seriously
