I myself am a former employee of allied barton and left them after 4 months of working for them. I have never ever worked for a company that operates in a such unprofessional manner and carries it self such lack of structure in how the way they handle and do business. I worked in the oakland area of pittsburgh at there upmc sites which was the biggest mistake of my entire life. At first things seem cool but after being there and seeing how the way they treated the employee and how they came and went just made me look at this place in a different light.
The first insident that made me look at them unprofessional was when i was written up for a schedule mishap my boss bryan ptomey mind you the most unprofessional boss/supervisor i ever worked with went to the account manager to charge me with a write up because i didn't come in cause i got confused on scheduling mind you this is my first week being a floater and everything wasn't explained to me right up front so why should i be charged for something thats there responsibility to explain to the new employees???
Another incident that made me grow suspicious of them was when my mother seen one of my pay stubs noticed that i was getting cheated out of my money and some hours were missing i confronted them about it and they say is talk to the person who did your schedule ever since i did that one time they didn't seem to care after i kept a closer eye on my pay stubs my checks got smaller and smaller and hours went upand down. They tell you that floater security guards are suppose to make 9.00 an hour but thats a crock of crap because my checks were barely enough to pay my monthly bills so that ull make 9 dollars an hour crap is such A LIE.
This company only cares about its self and the money it makes the only way you make decent money is if you slave yourself or if your kissing a* to get ahead or if your dating one the supervisors and theres no type of room for growth as far as promotions or getting a perminate site with a set schedule they treat you like your an expendable asset and when your at a site you can removed at any time which is terrible. I can recall one day i asked my supervisor brandon gaia who is another terrible supervisor who plays favoritism and lets people do illegal things and then talks about you behind your back and smiles in your face
If there were any perminate stes availble because i got tired of floating and not getting compensated for it and he said no there isn't any availible which made me come to the conclusion that hes lying i said how do you not have perminate openings and you all are firing people n then hiring floaters like its nothing but you all don't have any openings. This companys reputation is so horrible that i put in a bid for a security job with upmc security and they said they don't hire allied guard due to there reputation of laziness and not doing patrol rounds i said thats a shame.
After reading peoples complaints on here ill never EVER work for allied security again i was so fed up oakland and them not doin things right i put in a tranfer to bakery square in east liberty which is one the most horrible sites EVER and the manger mark wilcox is an A*HOLE he had me removed after a week stating that i wasnt doing rounds and i sat at the front desk i said where in the hell am i suppose to sit it in my car in the cold this site was so terrible they had nobody there it was unsafe and is below freezing cold and they expected you to do EVERY round even without the golf cart and th post that they had you at was the worse
It was an abandon building even after the fact i wasn't properly trained after that i was layed off for the entire week of chirst i said what the hell is that then i had to call come back to oakland which made me feel degrating to feel like i have to kiss a* to get my job back and coming back there for week i got a new job and havent been back since i hope allied barton gets called out for how the way they treat there employees and get everything that comes to them best supervisors i worked for were george diamond and jim dwyer everybody else sucks
Ive never been around group of immature individuals in my life that sit back and talk about each other like high school with such unprofessionalism its unbelievable swear im so glad iam not an employee and im printing all of these other articles of the people that have suffered from this crappy job for my records to show that this security firm is a terrible company to work for I think its aa good start for high school kids but other then that for trying to find a job with growth and devlopment n with a position of power and respect not this one here they treat the employees like they are glad trashbag one minute there here today and gone tommorrow
I can recalll one employee got horribly sick on the job and one that got badly injured instead of compensating them feeling that they would b a reliability risk they FIRED THEM what the h*ll is that another thing that this company does to get over on you i not send you your benifits package after your probation your supposed to get a package about benifits i never got that then the uniform policy they want you to pay 200 for uniform that should be in YOUR COSTS NOT OURS id wrather hire k-9s to guard my sites then deal with a crooked company like allied
