Allied Universal® Reviews 111

Let’s start with the Irving location…….. RUDE! Very unprofessional! I don’t know who they got to answer phones or anything but this is the worst company to work for. No one has any answers for any questions. They will tell you one pay amount and they will not fix it. They find every excuse and if you call to talk to anyone they give you the run around. Who ever the girl is who answers phones is the most rude, disrespectful condescending with the nastiest attitude and who ever is over her, some man name Terry berry or Perry whatever allows her to do just that. You can not have a voice or the will terminate you. The way they text you is rude and then will tell you don’t call them etc. this is not the place to work or deal with these people if you have been raised with respect and or manners. 0 out of 10
I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!

By far fhe worst company I hsve ever worked for. There is zero communication and even Managment had no clue. Work for the. For four years in a hospital setting. When they started raising our pay management stated now they can get anybody they want because all the competition for our jobs would be high. When I started working for them we had five days of vacation a year. They took two of our vacation days and made them sick days. Three whole days a year. That’s just stupid. High stress job like that and only three vacation days. Forced overtime, shedule blackouts, and the nursing staff letting it known they didn’t like us even though we were there to protect them. I can go on. They treaded me horribly to the point that I stadted asking if there was age discrimination going on. All the time spent there and not once was I approached for a leadership role. I even had over twenty five year Managment experience. I watched the. Hire new people with no experience over me. I was not a bad employee and went well above and beyond with them. I had that Managment experience and I was- an Air Force vet. I saw them take a person. Who they were going to fire and made him supervisor. That was it for me. They asked if I would consider coming back and said he’ll no and under no circumstances.

I have applied twice in the last six months. Each time, I completed the video interview and was immediately selected for an on-site sit down interview which I scheduled. Both times, within 5 minutes of scheduling the on-site interview, I received a text stating the interview had been cancelled by the interviewer. No explanation at all as to why.

Terrible company by far!!!!! Don't even treat there employees correctly smh plus adding bullshit on there old employees profiles like wth kind of B's is that!!!

No help. No nothing. Negative company.

Spencer's Hayes did not hire me on his free will he was instructed by someone in the hire up to reach out to me to give me a job. And he treated it as such, by not answering my questions, and neglecting the others I had. There's more to the story of how all of this went down but I'm just going to keep it short. I even reached out about the situation and stated what him and I had said in the messages, and I wanted was clarifying information and I couldn't even get that.. neither have they acknowledged anything, so I see they company set up so private until they can't even have sympathy, acknowledge,or apologize for the situation but that ok, and also marked me as ineglible for rehire because I was trying to get help..I was not trying to leave the company entirely, but Spence told me if I don't find it fit just say because he shows that he really didn't want to discuss it, so I said, since you mentioned if I don't want the position to say so he could go head and remove me from the site, and if anything comes available in the future I will give it a try, and made sure I wasn't by making me unable to be rehired for no reason. I didn't do anything to him but trying to get answers. Because h was I instructed to to reach out to me he made it known when he called me, as that being said, This the translation..I'm letting you know this is not because me, it's because someone told me to. After all this, I'm going to treat you like It was my pleasure. I no way felt welcome to Allied Universal.. And on top of that I never applied for the position it was given and took it at the time. Because I thought it would be a nice place to work, bug Allied showed me otherwise.

A man child working as a security guard has been sending my underage niece vulgar texts messages and needs to be fired immediately. So does his supervisor, who I later found out was NOT his supervisor at all, who is defending his behavior by saying "she told him she was 18" when her text messages clearly proved that she did NOT lie about her age at all. She asked him if it was a problem that she was "only 17" and his response was "is it a problem that I'm only 22?" Allied universal security employs the security team for that mall and they did absolutely nothing and even tried to lie to me via email and state that they do not employ anybody at that location. When I sent a picture of there security van in front of the mall... SILENCE.....

The company definitely does not value their employees. They do not match to the 401K and there are no performance bonuses or end of year bonuses. In fact, they promote people that promote sexual harassment and wipe the issue under the rug.

Allied Universal has shown themselves to be completely unfair, unprofessional, and incompetent in handling my case. Communication is poor, support is nonexistent, and their actions demonstrate a lack of care or responsibility toward the people they are supposed to help. I would not recommend their services to anyone.

Congratulations to Dave S. (security officer). He did an awesome job today at DES office located at 45th. Ave. and Indian School Rd. I got in because I need to renew my benefits and He was very helpful, nice and respectful. He helped myself and other people to check in online. We must praise this actions more often when it happens, because we need a better world and this is a great inspiration to all of us.

The manager named Anil Nazir Gill is a disgusting person! This company should be ashamed for hiring a man like him. He is a racist and misogynist who will curse women non stop.

I would like to inform you that some of your security officers are abusing their authority

They are supposed to provide safety and protection, but they are instead abusing their position and acting against the lwo.

I expect the company to take this issue seriously and take immediate action.

Had a really bad experience at Doctors Hospital in Modesto CA , in main lobby. The guard was unprofessional, disrespectful,and juvenile. Officer (Reed). Not trained correctly for stressful situations. Thank God for cameras. Hope Allied and Doctors Hospital can correct this problem

The work was Ok until I reported an Officer who violated Company policies, the Officer a lady abandoned the post every Night for more than an hour and a half, I have also played back CCTV video of the violation to support my report.
Unfortunately this Officer was befriended with the Client Manager, who fired me for this, she said you can't work at this post anymore but you can apply on the Allied Website for any job .
I started applying immediately, but every job I found was denied by the client Manager LEXI in in the Lakeland Office.
I wrote even a letter to the CEO Steve Jones and reported this violation.
After the letter to the CEO ,the Office in Lakeland called me, telling me you are not fired , you can apply for any job with Allied, of course this was a lie. In addition, the human resource director from Tampa called me also, telling me you are not fired apply for any job, another lie. The same Manager in the Lakeland Office allowed us to drive a Security vehicle for 2 weeks without registration and insurance, this was fine for her. I applied one more time on 8/28/2025, I was interviewed and told I’m eligible for rehire. The Conducted a Background check and scheduled an Orientation in Tampa on 9/2/2025.
I drove to Tampa and attended the Orientation for run about 3 hours until somebody called me out, then the human resource director told me I can't work in the whole county anymore LEXI told him. And all this just because I reported a company violation? I worked as a security Officer for 7 years never saw such a hateful Person like this client Manager. But she is obviously allowed to make such disgusting decisions against security Officers. It's pure hate and retaliatory "Adverse employment action" Allowed by Allied Universal. Where is the justice, forbid me for working in the whole county just because I reported a Company violation.
Reporting a Company violation is actually a protected activity. What about Allied Universal code of conducts ! In this case it's nothing worth!

Talked to potential future supervisor about a job offer, subsequently declined, unwilling to provide written copy of offer & asked if he would have a problem talking to current guard he became even more discouraging, definitely raising a red flag. I can now see why past and present employees rate management on the lower end of the scale.

I worked for this company for 2 years. Everything was alright until I transferred to the Allied West LA branch. My operational manager removed me from my post because I had covid. Then made me a rover, and assigned horrible LISA shifts where I worked outside or sitting in car with no bathroom or stores nearby. (Even had a job offer to work on TARZANA, CA, that's not West LA!) Obviously the manager and Allied Universal West LA was trying to get me to voluntarily quit. The office has a bunch of Hispanics and asian people..not my ethnicity. They were really fake especially my Operational manager, a little Hispanic man who will give you a huge Kool Aid smile but don't trust him!(Initials FG)
Well, they tried to say I had misconduct but had no proof to show. Now they will pay unemployment fees. Learn how to treat your guards with respect, and stop holding post for your friends, and families.

Ex drug addicts working in management lying and abusing their power

Terrible company

If we could give a zero we would. Not sure how a security company who has such terrible reviews is still being hired to keep things “safe and secure”. Night workers at security locations always smell of weed, nobody takes any accountability for their actions or mistakes, and always rude and inappropriate.

I was really disappointed with the service I received. The staff was unhelpful and the product didn't meet my expectations at all. I would not recommend this company.
