at Nov 21, 2009 10:52 PM Best guard fired Earlier this year , a new guard left a gate open allowing a couple of cars to enter the property. No harm was done, but allied suspended and then fired the supervisor-the best guard we had. The new guard, trying to be helpful, felt awful that he got his co-worker suspended and fired. The supervisor was our best guard: great personality, respectful, prompt, helped the janitors, etc. He never missed a day's work, took vacant shifts, was liked by everyone . He was "recruited" by allied to stay on the account when allied took it over in 6/08. Allied offered a signing bonus to a select group of Guardsmark guards and he was one of them. Since Beckman is closing one of its plants, Allied is down-sizing the number of guards and since this guy was making more as a supervisor, they got rid of HIM even though everyone knew he did not leave the gate open. The little morale we had at this account went down even more as they blamed a good man for something a rookie guard did !!!! What a shitty company and bad way to treat others!!! When the economy improves, many of us will be hitting the road for sure. Allied has a Dare tobe G.R.E.A.T. training program about respect and integrity...what a bogus claim.
at Oct 28, 2009 01:30 PM nature of the beast Name me one good security company??? I have worked for three and they all have their faults. The officers that complain are the officers that don't want to comply with the rules and regulations set by the company and their clients. Heaven forbid if the officers at the IMF actually only got the two 15 min breaks and 30 min lunch required by law, but no they get twice that and still complain. They complain if they have to stand outside when it gets into the 30s, but not freezing, or if it is snowing. Suck it up!! Go work at the State Dept. or DOJ, then think twice about the good you had at IMF w/AlliedBarton.

at Sep 28, 2009 03:06 PM Allied Barton is bad I regret even being hired by them. They are a very unfair company. The management will tell you to your face that you are an excellent employee and then cut your hours to zero. They even have you train new officers only to replace yourself. If the schedule writer (supervisor) makes a mistake, all they do is fix it by printing out a new one. If a person goes by the old schedule, he or she gets a write up and or suspension. Word of advice: Never mention you have a health problem. Also, the young employees get all the good posts and assignments. If you are over 50 you get a less desireable post, patrol or assignment.
at Sep 8, 2009 01:26 AM Abuse from Management I am a current employee with allied barton security govermental services imf. I have been employed there for two years and sad but true I must admit to the total disregard for employees legal rights, moral and ethical standards that are not being upheld by management and HR dept. The biggest issue really is the fact that the employees either do not know there rights or are afraid to file charges of discrimmination, intimidation, harrassment, retaliation, unfair treatment, labor law violations not being able to utilize sick or personal leave without having to managements prior approval to switch with your fellow officers, write-ups and suspensions that are not documented in the handbook as violations, it's a mess. And don't you dare think about challenging management because that is your job for sure. You would think that allied barton coporate office would be paying close attention to such a high turnover rate of employees. Employees do not stay long with the abuse of power and the hostile work enviroment by the regime of Capasso and his puppets.
at Feb 15, 2009 10:07 PM wtf? To the poster "bad company". I am about to work for Allied Barton and the posts that I have viewed on other website's have the same complaints. So, I did some checking and the only ones complaining are the people who have no writing ability! How can you complain about a company and your english sucks? I would have fired or released everyone that has posted a comment! I even read one complaint about never being contacted. Funny, I was contacted in 3 hours!! LOL!
at Nov 26, 2008 11:39 AM Allied Barton I am very surprised to see someone acquire Allied Barton, I hired them for a short period of time before I had to replace them. Their management is just as bad as the officers they hire. Trying to contact someone in management is like trying to reach the president of the United States. Bad Move!
at Aug 22, 2008 04:04 AM bad company On the surface allied Barton lookes like a good company to work for and to contract. But in fact the truth is the company does not care about there employees only there customers. Example:I worked at several sites where the management team said the awards given to the officers are not even worth the paper there printed on. Another incident managment would yell and curse at the officers .that is just a fraction of the issues the company Has.and the hr department wouldn't do anything about these issues that I and several officers brought to there attention creating a bad work environment. Think twice before conducting business with allied Barton security.
