Allied Security was originally founded under the name Allied Barton Security in 1957. In 1965, the name was changed to Universal Protection. Over the years, the company has been acquired or has acquired a long list of security companies.
In 2016, AlliedBarton and Universal Services of America merged, renaming the company Allied Universal Services. After this merger, Allied Universal became the largest security company in the US.
In 2019, the company expanded internationally by opening offices in the UK.
In December 2019, the company was hit with a ransomware demand from Maze Crew. Maze Crew did make some information public in early 2020 after Allied refused to pay the ransom.
In November 2020, Allied Universal Security made an offer to acquire security giant G4S, but the offer was rejected.
Also in November 2020, the Denver, Colorado, city council threw out a $25 million contract with Allied after their security officers assaulted an unarmed black man.
Allied Universal Security maintains a corporate office in Conshohocken, Pennslyvania.
I worked for Allied they fired me due to having a life threat situation in this office in white plains these men like to belittle verbally mentally abusive . I have Tristian Campbell who is Under Nick and O.B yelling screaming at me and talking to me as a grown woman saying he doesn’t care if your are in a domestic situation everyone have problems you can not tell me you need the day off I asked him you called me in this office to verbally mentally abuse me and fire me cause I needed time off for mental emotional reason and u put more on me he said yes congratulations I have it on video they call people in there to yell at woman to make them self feel good by disrespecting them let not forget every week check is messed up smh
My email is charlesbyrum4@ gmail.com I’m fileing a complaint against allied for the past two months i have called over and over trying to give y’all my new address to get my W2 no one has called me or returned my calls my next step is im calling the IRS to let them know im not getting anything done with this my name is Charles Byrum
I stoped working in December 31 2021 and I have not received my last pay check they messed up on my check last week and I still haven’t been paid for that either so I’m missing this weeks check and the make up for the mess up
Last week they are ignoring me Amanda Ann Clint of the buffalo office I have text messages to prove it.. I can’t even pay my cell phone bill they literally messed up on every check of mine since they brought out G4s on the 8th of October 2021
they mess up my husbands check every week. he’s always short on his overtime and it always makes me so mad. I feel what your going thru. Another guard at my hubby’s place didn’t get her full check and it’s now 7 days late from last pay period her new check is already coming tomorrow 🙄🙄
File a complaint with the Department of Labor and Industries. They will come to investigate, and make it right. I am about to do that exact thing. They don’t respect us at all. Now that I have resigned, I don’t feel bad doing this.
I been with allied for a little over 3 years and my check has been messed up. I work at a site for more than 8 months and 80% of the time had no one to break me for my lunch and everyday l would work between 5 to 20 minutes overtime and they pay me the same and was told by the post commander to put that l took a lunch. And now l have been told that l have no vacation time and when for last two years l have been pay my vacation time and everytime l have called them they don’t call me back and needed that extra money to help pay a bill.
We are currently dealing with this payroll/timesheet problem at our work site in Collier County (Naples, Florida) and this company just took over nearly a month ago. Not a single paycheck correct and they’ve only paid us (4) times now. This appears to be the pattern with Allied Universal. We the officers on this contract have already started talking about a “mass walkout” and started applying elsewhere. Seems no one is being straight with us and actually trying to fix the problem.
Allied is a great place to work. I notice that everyone on here is complaining but conveniently left out the part where you either gave attitude, or forced the issue. I used to be an Operations Manager in a huge market, so I did payroll for about 500 people. Mistakes do get made from time to time, but are easily fixed. I’ve had it happen to me. Typically when someone is separated they either know it’s coming, or have done something severe enough to be fired like abandoning post. everyone comes in and wants to make a grand a week…it’s security, if you are an adult and just getting into it, be happy you have a job. If you have paid your dues, then IT’S UP TO YOU TO APPLY FOR ADVANCEMENT. Everyone is so sensitive these days… maybe security isn’t for you. But hey, McDonalds is always hiring.
You sound like a bit hot
You sound like a b*tch
No not a grand a week . They need people to pay attention and do payroll the right way and stop f-in with people’s money and not giving them they hour plus a week for vacation an sick time . I told ma girl this company has idiots in charge I would fire everyone on top
Amen
People have a right to be mad and upset if they put in extra hours to pay a bill or what have you the company could atleast acknowledge that a mistake has been made and will attempt to fix the error the poor communication is what infuriates individuals.
I have a full notebook of unethical practices. I started in January 2021 and I loved my position. I drove 40 minutes to and from the site every day, sometimes staying an extra 4 hours for OT. My mothers cancer came out of remission and she’s had and is still going through treatment (it started with radiation and chemo, now immunotherapy. I made it clear that if I got an emergency call from her, I wasn’t going to wait for a relief to leave. If you leave without a relief, it’s considered abandoning your post. One day I had dangerously high blood pressure. I was in stroke territory and the account manager said I couldn’t leave without a relief. Fortunately for me, the EMT at the site intervened and told her I HAD to go to the hospital. By this time, I was ready to pass out. Then she told me I needed full medical clearance before I could come back. It was an act of Congress to be reactivated. First, she won’t let me leave, now she won’t let me come back. She promotes teeny boppers to supervisory position. No experience whatsoever. They falsify official documents. I’m transferring out. I hope my next site is better
I’m new to the company and new to a city I don’t know I’m a retired bodyguard and I started trucking after been a bodyguard but for lack of rest I developed disorder anxiety and hypertension high blood pressure and brought me back doing security now the management I have they suck no communication and a lot of negligence after getting hire a month later which I selected site I was supposed to work they moved me 2 times and they wanted me to be a swing shift guard I only worked 3 days out of the month and they forgot to pay me for training and forgot to get me relief guard 2 times I’m getting a transfer next week to another site with another management but company I know is professional but management here at this branch where I’m at they are not professional and select their own people I’m trying to contact HR which I asked few times at the office and they don’t have one thats what they tell me 2 times. So I don’t know what to do.
Hi. I’m wondering if there is an age where you retire your employees. Thank you
Eyuel Mussie is threatening my job and academic career over leaving 30 minutes late while his friends just won’t show up for their shifts, they get unfair advantages, I can’t stay all night, I have a life outside of work. Terric has worked here for over 2 months and has shown up over 10 minutes late EVERY shift. I’m not his f-in babysitter. I know absolutely nothing about this job other than the bare bone basics like clocking in and out, scanning points, and filing activity reports. Eyuel needs to go. He refuses to do his job and I’m sick and tired of his nonsense, threats, and discrimination.
Don’t feel like your alone. I’m in Illinois and the very same happens it’s not fair but if you say something you become a target. And good old home office look the other way. Been dealing with the same crap for 2 1/2 yes. My advice get out while you can and don’t waste your time.

The security company is a joke. And my husband’s supervisor sent my husband a message that she knew would make him think he’s fired because she did it to a different guard. She told him he had to drive over an hour away to meet with her before he could return to work and at first he told her he wasn’t driving there to be fired. And then he asked for a date and time to meet her. And found out none of the rest of the guards had to meet with her, she told them everything over a phone call. And she told all the guards my husband quit when he didn’t. And she put a man in his supervisor position. My husband never said he quit. Like I said that place is a joke and some are too dang racist too like she is
Complaints
Allied universal short us on our paychecks every week. Our payroll person asks us to send our hours to him every week and they still short our paychecks. How can that be possible? Then when we tell them about it they don’t care. We had to threaten with an attorney and when we do get our lost hours its not right. For example you got shorted 6 hours of reg time @11.50 per hour which equal to $69. You didnt get paid that they paid you 6 hours @10.56 per hour. So still didn’t get paycheck right. Our managers don’t care and dont answer our calls/texts. We don’t have post orders at the site where I’m at,and I’ve asked my managers and all they say is whatever the site people tell u t do. So we don’t know what are real duties are. I have tried to contact the HR headquarters in PA and they tell me I have to talk to the area district. No I want to talk to the main headquarters. We don’t get paid very well,and no raises,and no room for advancement. I haven’t worked with any security company that didnt have a site manager on the premises,however we don’t so lots of confusion,miscommunication, and no schedule.
This is not only at your site, those problems are everywhere at other sites. This is a company that needs to be shot down the way they treat their employees. What we need to do is to write to Senators and Congress. Here is what Allied Universal does: They offer Long Term Disability benefit. This benefit you can get only if you are out sick for 6 months (24 Weeks),but what Allied universal does is Terminates the benefit after you are out sick after 12 Weeks…So an employee who has been sick/disable for 6 Months is not able to file for the benefit as the Insurance company will denied because Allied universal has terminated your benefits. This not only fraud but also criminal what this Company does to her Employees. Anyone who reeds this comment and has the same issue should see an Attorney and sue Allied Universal.
