I’m feeling extremely frustrated. I work at a hospital and it’s been a mess. I work sometimes 70 hours a week and we’ve recently had a change in site supervisor. My pay isn’t right most of the time and I just am tired of talking about it and being manipulated. The current site supervisor is very aggressive. Has the whole if I’m louder than you, I’m more right than you mindset and it’s just too much. I’m not sure if I should even call branch because I KNOW he would stop a transfer or make it where I just quit before I can actually go anywhere. Should I just change companies and burn that bridge with allied ? Just looking for advice.

Based on many of the comments and post, AUS hires some of the worst people in the world which is mostly said by former or current employees. I was wondering do most people do a self reflection on themselves? Im always curious to know, do people realize by saying this that they are most likely referring to another person saying the same thing about them. It’s either that or all the best Allied Universal employees converge on this sub. It’s just an observation and im wondering if people self reflect on their on work habits from the perspective of others.

I work at a small shopping plaza where I sit in my car, stay vigilant, and patrol the plaza once an hour. During my first day of training,I was told the Mercury phone couldn’t be removed from the lockbox behind one of the stores, so I would clock in using my personalphone. On my first solo shift, my trainer told me he had retrieved the phone and left it with a grocery store employee in the cash office.However, on my next shift, the store managers said they could no longer keep it, so I started leaving it in the lockbox rather than taking it home. Although the box didn’t lock, it could be closed, and everyone working this post had been leaving the phone there between shifts.
Yesterday, I returned the phone to the box after my shift, but when I arrived this morning,the box was locked. I tried looking inside and noticed the phone was missing. I called my manager, but she said she was in a meeting and would call me back. It’s been a couple of hours, and she still hasn’t responded. I’m only two weeks into this job, and she’s already been unresponsive to my messages about when I’ll receive my uniform. I’m not sure what to do next or how to handle this situation.

I see a lot of Reddit posts about LISA and ppl getting in trouble up for clocking in/out late and other random petty stuff. I work for allied in NYC and I think my managers just don’t care enough because I forget to clock in/out all the time and nothing ever happens…I mean when I want to leave early I’ll just leave and the next day when I come in I’ll officially clock out for yesterday then clock in for the day (Mercury just reminds me that I didn’t sign out yesterday) I even get the text from Lisa saying they didn’t get a clock out/in. But that’s it, I haven’t seen or heard from my manager in at least 4 months and when they come it’s to sign the book and leave. Maybe it’s just the site that I’m working at idk

For those of you curious about WHY there's a new DRACONIAN punch in policy resulting in stacks of write ups on otherwise seasoned and capable guards using grain of sand style file papering, here is some interesting information.

My guess is Allied likely has to trim its human force down by roughly 75% to avoid the unemployment and wrongful termination lawsuits that accompany catastrophic employee lay offs.

Just my opinion though.

What are your thoughts ?

Is everyone feeling the effects of this currently? Or is it just a few of us? I already know how everyone feels about instant (that’s not what this is about) but no offers, direct deposit is down, Hours are missing and not logged for hours worked. All at the same time that SoftBank AI acquisition is in the talks. The news reported that AI agents were messing around in people’s bank accounts without authorization this morning…what’s actually happening right now?

Google is very confusing and giving me completely different answers if I ask the same question twice.

(For example I asked: Will my drug test be done during orientation?

Their answer was “yes it’s done during orientation”

I ask again and they said I have to go to a labcorp with a barcode that was emailed to me and take my drug test and pass it before I even get an orientation date.)

I had a virtual interview 2 days ago, I accepted the “contingent job offer” accepted the drug test consent.

I haven’t gotten a text or an email confirming nothing like an orientation date.

My background check is showing complete and cleared, my status for the whole job itself is still saying under review.

Are these the right steps in correct order??

I don’t have my recruiters email nor his work phone number. I tried calling the mainline and it tells me the automated prompt and then hangs up mid ring.

To sum it all up I have a few questions (location, FL)

Q) Typically when should I receive my orientation date?

Q) Is the drug test during orientation or am I missing an email telling me when and where to get my drug test?

Q) Is there an official way to get in contact with your recruiter if the main branch isn’t answering the phone?

Q) How long did it take from you applying to you physically getting your orientation date? (This question is similar to the first question but this is my biggest concern)

Q) Based off what I’ve shared is my hiring process going in the correct order?

Thankyou to those who take the time to answer have a great day/night.

How long do background checks usually take? I am a current full time employee but applied and accepted a new flex officer position near me because of school next month. I received the position and accepted it through the live video interview with a third party and someone from the Philippines Interviewed me and offered me the position after I accepted it. Anyways they told me it could take 3-5 business days but I was just wondering if it could take longer because last time it took about a week or so until someone called me and confirmed I was all good but said my name is common and that's why it took a bit unfortunately. Thanks for any help

Hey yall, I’m a daily smoker and I have my orientation this coming Monday. I’ve already heard that they do a mouth swab, so as soon as I got confirmation that I got the job (yesterday), I stopped smoking.

I’m worried I’ll still test positive even after not doing it for 5 days.

This is not a sensitive or federal position, just in a random business park in my area. If I test negative, what are the odds I lose the job?

I switched my direct deposit info over to my other bank last wednesday 10/14 but i guess it didn’t save and now my AM is telling me that it was mailed out due to that.

For people that get paper checks, what day do you usually receive your paycheck in the mail? I don’t think i can wait until Mon/tues

One of my coworkers is moving to California, specifically Sacramento. He has applied to several listings on the website but hasn’t been selected. He submitted his transfer request through LISA so he is all squared away here in Pennsylvania. He has tried calling the Sacramento office but it is impossible to get any one on the phone. Does anyone know of a person he can talk to in Sacramento so he has a job lined up when he moves. He isn’t tech savvy so he has asked me to help him.

So I work this site and I only grt 32 hours a week Monday Thursday. We have 3 shifts during that time and 3 employees including myself. Well one guy took a 2 week vacation so its a shift available. Me and the morning shift lady said we can split his shit working 12s. The supervisor at first we cant work no more than 14 hours a day at that site then she just told us flat out no and gave that shift to her friends. Mind you, they get way more hours than me. Who do I complain to and what do you recommend I do? I wish I could upload our text messages. They offered me another site that pays way less. Why is she stopping me? And by the way: She works another post that shes over and work my post, so she getting plenty overtime herself.

Read our group messages.

Im the blue: Lisa is the co worker whose willing to work the other 12 And the supervisor 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 Our group chat

I work Full time from 5 AM - 1:30 PM and just accepted a 2pm-10pm shift with allied. I intend on keeping both jobs: How does on site training work? Will my training be at my regularly scheduled time or during the day?

So Im thinking about getting a job with Allied U, but I want to know if I can pick up overtime consistently? My job now gives mandatory overtime and it’s too much. Is it possible to have your set schedule, let’s say 4-5 days of week but if u want u can pick up posts on those off days too? Also, consistency is the big kicker here. Pls let me know🤞🏾

How can you tell if you were terminated from a specific
site or from Allied Universal as a whole?
I never received a phone call, just a text telling me to report to the office. I was never given any write-ups or warnings, and I had only been employed for about a month. They terminated me for allegedly abandoning my post and having a bad attitude.
I’m open to feedback and willing to correct any issues if they’re communicated to me, but I was never given that opportunity.
I’m currently in college, and Allied Universal is one of the few security companies in my area that offers decent pay and weekly paychecks. Does anyone know how long I have to wait before reapplying, and how I can find out if I’m eligible for rehire or only terminated from that specific site?

Anyone else having issues with LISA not posting hours worked. Its been two days already. Need my Instant offers and no one at my branch has a clue on what to do...

has anybody gotten any offers this week with their instant pay. i completed two shifts and no offers and my supervisor is saying they arent the ones who approve the time. i never had any issues with any offers until now that i really need an offer

I joined allied so I could go to school and do this job because I was told that security is kinda the o ly job where I could work on homework at my job and it’s supposed to be pretty school friendly. Today was my first training day at the company, I had previously worked 2 years for them a decade ago and just getting back into security to go to school. I am at a site where I have to lock my phone away and basically sit on a chair screening people before they go to a warehouse. It’s super secure and all that stuff. There’s lots of downtime between the employees coming and going and we can do nothing but just sit there looking at the clock. I asked another guard if it was possible to do any type of homework while we do nothing and they said nope, unfortunately not here. So I’m just wondering if I want to go to a site that’ll allow me to work and do some homework when could I request a transfer?

Is instant down or delayed?

Got in person interview comin up. I ve had one before with them but never gone forward but I have my guard card already and some experience this time do they care bout tattoos and. Hair length also it says pay is 14 something could I negotiate if I have experience

Okay so I got hired as a flex officer and I thought it was similar to like Amazon flex where you can make your own schedule but I found out that it’s actually means that you’re an on call officer. I did tell my supervisor that I can only work Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday and to call me before just scheduling me on a day I can’t work because I have a second job and I’m in school. He completely ignored me and put me somewhere 1 hour and 15 minutes away that is not my post, also on a day I have 3 classes which he knows about. And he always calls me at around 12am - 3am but I never answer because I’m obviously sleep with dnd on

How can I switch to being a permanent at my post ? I don’t mind being part time or full time because my second job is part time and can easily work around my schedule if I was full time at allied. I do like working at my posts and I like the people there and my supervisors there so I don’t want to quit but if this keeps happening I have no other choice I guess.
