Working at Allied Universal in Lakeland, FL: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Lakeland, FL Area

"If i could give 0 stars, i really would. My partner has been working here for about a year and a half, and this has been hands down the worst employer I have ever come across. The "captains" (post supervisors) have horrible communication skills, and they seem to all have anger problems or bipolar moods. We have had to beg and plead and fight to be given a shift with hours enough to survive, because if it were up to them, you'd work 1 day a week, or they would just throw you to whatever post needs a shift covered when someone calls out. Good luck trying to get any specific days off. At time of onboarding, we were told in order to get any days approved off, we must request 2 weeks in advance. My partner request days 1+ month in advance, and they were not approved. Their excuse was that they don't want to give anyone overtime. He was written up for not coming in, despite the month advanced notice. This is definitely one of the most unstable companies I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with, and that is sad because they are a security company. To add on top of the fact that they have unstable shifts, anytime that you begin a new post, or location, your probation period begins all over again. So you could have been working for this company for 2 years but if they change your post or location your 90 days begin again. My partner has been racially profiled, and discriminated against by clients, and the security company sides with the client. back in February, partner called off of work for the cremation of his mother, and he was punished by being taken off the schedule, and being told he was not reliable. As a precaution, we even submitted documentation of the cremation/obituary , but the captain didn't care. The biggest red flag this far, is the fact that they have 0 concern for sanitary up keeping. I have much more to say, and not enough room to write it all in."
