Pros

Allied BARTON was a great company to be an Account Manager.

Cons

Allied Universal is a horrible company to be an Account Manager. Allied Universal still has the Universal Protective Service business philosophy of "Everyone is just a body to fill post. Even account managers". They do not believe in paying their employees a decent wage and this is salaried employees included. They have constant pay discrepancies and take forever to correct the discrepancies. Allied Barton used to fire managers for things like that.

Pros

Only reason I left was because they lost the contract at the site I was working at. Good people, collaborative work environment, flexible schedules.

Cons

Long hours, clientele can sometimes get unsavory, and I felt the corporate elements were kind of faceless.

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
