bad treatment
I am a former employe for this company. I was with this company for almost six mounths. I had a lot of over time built up and tried very hard to do a good job. How ever I was terminiated because i had to leave work one night because I tore my uniform. I had called my on site supervisor at explained what happen and that they would have to get someone else to work my shift, because i only had one uniform. I told them i would get a replacement the next day because i worked 3rd shift and all the stores are closed. The site had 2 other guards covering the critical locations and the plant was shutdown for the weekend. They have worked with 2 people before. Any how I left the site ater telling my supervisor. The next day I was terminated for leaving the site. I had just missed one day sense i had started and worked many double shifts. In fact i was one of the few that would even show up in bad winter weather. A year had passed and I tried to see if i could get my job back. Everytime you called the local office you would get a voice mail and no one will call you back. When i did talk to the local recruiter and explained what happen he said he would look into the incident. A week had passed and when I called for a follow up he was extreamly hateful to me and said he could do nothing. NEVER CHOUSE THIS COMPANY GO WITH AN ALTERNET CHOICE. Check out the other complaints and you will understand.

SECURITY SUCKS!!! October 18, 2010
mismanagement
Oh BOY! I FINALLY get to vent! Let me state outright that I have more years than I care to admit doing this s*** job. Allied is really no different than any other rent-a-cop company I have worked for in the past 17 years or so (off and on for a total of about 4 years. I tell people, especially in times like these, security will get you by, but be prepared for one the most humbling experiences of your life.). The site I work at is a sheocracy, run by a miserable, vacation at least once a month, vindictive creature from hell. She denied me vacation at least once and a day off at least twice. I have worked their a year and 4 months and for AB for a year and 7 months. NOW, TODAY, I am being told I don't have enough hours to be paid my vaca time, when they work us like a rented mule, with the "hours" displayed every week. God forbid you haven't put in whatever required, arbitrarily decided, mandatory overtime hours that week. The hours on the schedule would at times demand 55-60 hours from some (I was consistently in the upper third of 40-odd rent-a-cops (RAC's)), yet this list of 'goldbricks and workhorses' would, every week, would cheat me several hours, even one of the supers (ha) said it didn't make sense.
The nepotism runs thick, natch. The nasty, used-up, vile THING that was the Acct. MGr. has since retired (I think the contract with Satan expired and he claimed her soul), to be replaced by a charming, generous, thoughtful, "was one of us types". NOT!! LOL! She is related to a fat, FAT slob that gets 40-45 hours a week, time of whenev, and weekends off. Granted the fat loser has been their since Moses laid down the smacketh, and she is dating a super and his pappy was second in line their for several years...you see where this is going.
On to the racism! We have a very hated, distrusted black woman that we are forced to work, who has been heard to make racist comments about Whites (not around me! I don't play that s***!), who didn't get relieved in time for a break, with a porta potty 30 ft. away, SOILED herself and a chair to prove a point! She recently threatened another black female AB employee and went to her grandmothers HOUSE to talk s*** to her! She has abandoned post and re-posted herself and still no action against her. She is a known snitch, even when you're standing in the same booth with her and a super! Why the inaction, you may ask? American Race Card! Don't go to work without it! "I sue you mothers!". I do work with several black coworkers who are truly the salt of the earth and aren't very fond of her, either.
The site I worked at before had a notorius snitch, who pretended to be a "Pastor", a Man of Gooooodd! He'd always drag around his hokey Bible and Bible study materials. So pious and friendly! Asskiss! Some word got back to the Acct. Mgr. (in fact, A LOT did, LOL!) about some choice things I had said ( I AM outspoken, shame on me!), and I was a super so that WAS my bad, but I knew it was this snake that rolled, actually ran to tattle. Because he's black and the Acct. Mgr. was Hispanic and "sensitive to minority issues", this "Man of God" was hit with FOUR sexual harassment charges in TWO WEEKS! Nothing. Still works there.
I have plenty of horror stories but the bottom line is this; security is a stepping stone when times are bad! If you didn't see how lame security is in the first 6 months of doing it (and I'm being generous!), shame on you! REALLY! Like the legend of the Indian woman that rescues a frozen snake. She nursed it back to health and in doing so, got bit for her troubles. She asks, "Snake, I healed you, I fed you, I saved you! How could you do this?!". The snake replied calmly, "Look bitch, you knew I was a snake...", and proceed to slither away, just like AB will, eventually! Get out while you can, of security that is.
BTW, the "creature" used a common cute Acct. Mgr. trick ALWAYS! She would deny people vaca or to sell the vaca back to further feather her nest, while trotting off to Hawaii once a month. Hey, RHIP's. If you are stuck, I wish you the best of luck, sincerely. But get out ASAP!

Wrongful Termination and Employee Rights Violations
I worked for Allied Barton in the Jack's Pacific warehouse with the Allied Barton El Monte Office. I was let go and told to be transferred to another location because the supervisor in the Jack's Pacific account complained against me. This so called Supervisor came late almost on a daily basis, she was even late for 2 hours and she did not even make up the time and did not report her tardiness to the office and I did not get paid. I finally got tired of the abuse that security companies give to their employee's and I'm proud to say that I no longer work in security. Also Allied Barton makes p rules as they go. I also worked in an account where a person was attacked and in that area was a security company taking care of the situation. The next day I was told to make a report and to notify Allied Barton for what had occurred. I told them that I was not a witness and was also not in my location to perform security. The reason they did this was to steal an account from the other security company. Is just better to be even a janitor at a hospital than to be a security guard. I no longer have respect for these companies because they make money abusing and cheating off their employee's.

Wrongfull Termination
I was hired to work in my home town in NH with rotating weekends, but I had to work for a couple of months in Lexington, Ma, a 30 mile drive, to train. I ended up working every weekend for 6 months before finally getting Sunday's off and I never stepped foot in the NH office. I was driving 60 miles a day! I heard more lies from that company than I do from my own kids! When my new born daughter was sick and needed to go to the doctor, my boss wouldn't let me have the day off because I hadn't been with the company for a year. He told me after a year I could make special requests. When my grandfather died, I asked to have the day off for the funeral and was denied! He wouldn't even let me go home early when I found out my grandfather was dying. Luckily, I found the hand book and told him that it was my right to have 3 unpaid days off and I was taking one. The last straw was one day when my cell phone rang. It was my wife, who was home with my baby daughter. I picked up to see if it was an emergency, then told her I'd call her back when I went to lunch. My boss saw me and started talking down to me and was being disrespectful. I explained the cituation to him, but he ignored me. He came back an hour later and gave me a write up... in front of 15 people in a main lobby desk location! When he gave me my copy (yes my personal copy) I riped it in half, put it in the trash, and told him that I didn't like the way I was being treated and I told him that I did not agree with the write up. All he could do was look at the floor and say "um sorry you feel that way." I reported him for harassment to the account manager and stated that I did not agree with the write up. An hour later I was sent home. Later that night I got a call saying I was suspended. I called them every day for a week and got passed around between different managers and HR reps. Finally I was told that they would call me at the end of week two. I got a call saying I was fired for destroying company property. I was like what? The next day I called them to complain and he said "oh well you were also insubordinate, sorry and good luck." Now they are trying to keep me from getting unemployment and I"m looking for a lawyer. My two friends got fired from there and are on umemployment.

Rejection of civil liberties
I got fired at a job site in Oxnard, CA for following orders passed on to me by my co-worker from my Account Manager. We were told by the account manager that we are supposed to watch over "The Bolt, " wait for the employees to leave at 6PM (Holiday hours) and escort the manager to her car if possible, because she takes the money with her when she leaves the store. I did exactly that, and I was fired for it. Can you believe that? Security was my 2nd job when I got out of the Army in 2007. I quit my other job, because I had to take care of my aunt who had breast cancer. I have 0 tolerance for this kind of behavior. It happened Saturday and my account mngr. called me today (Monday) & said that i couldn't work at that site anymore. I was also told that I couldn't go to their premises, not even as a customer. My co-worker at a site called Jafra was fired from the site for protecting himself from getting stabbed by 3 people trying to steal cars in the parking lot. My co-worker got beat up, almost stabbed, and fired at Jafra without question.
