Pros

My boss was nice to work with.

Cons

The owner of this company does not value his employees. Here are some examples. When I started, the chair in my office was broken. After asking for a new chair three different times, I bought my own and brought it to the office. Allied is a service and rental company, but when the trailers need service, the tech guys have to use their personal vehicles because the owner does not want to buy a service truck. Employees have to use their personal cell phones for business. The owner refuses to upgrade computer sales software to make the branch more profitable, yet complains when sales do not increase. When I started, the service technicians did not have a workshop, they were forced to work in the sun and rain. So I had the guys use junk shipping containers to build an A-Frame type structure so they would have a dry place to work when it rains. Allied has company health insurance, but it is so expensive, no one at the branch uses it. In fact, I obtained better coverage at a lower cost on a personal health insurance plan. These are just a few specific reasons that illustrate that the owner of Allied does not value his employees.

We appreciate your review. Since 2013, our entire building at headquarters has been updated and renovated, including new desks and office chairs for all employees. New sales technology has also been installed, and our sales process has been modernized. We currently own and operate several service trucks, see photos on our website and on our Glassdoor company page. Also, please note, the current owner neither owns a private jet nor a Rolls Royce.

Pros

None unless you live nearby as the majority of its staff does. Otherwise, dobt expect as much as a cup of coffee on them.

Cons

Filthy, dusty, rodent infested, poorly constructed, low/no morale, no performance evaluations, no raises, no bonuses, no goals, no leadership, no tuition reimbursement, poor pay/over priced benefits, a ton of catty co-workers who would rather discuss each other than to demand the clean, healthful working environment they are ENTITLED TO BY LAW!! The file room is NOT suppose to feel like you have walked OUTDOORS in the winter/summer. It's suppose to be up to code with the temperature regulated as it is within the office space. You should not be required to buy your own pest control to control the mice running through cubes, on desk and flat out dying in your cubicle. Disinfectant is mandatory to clean up the mice droppings on your desk and in your work space DAILY. You will NOT be re-imbursed or compensated for these out of pocket expenses, but you are expected to grin and bear it. If the staff had one brain betwixt them tjis place would have BEEEEEN shut down. They know EXACTLY what and who they are dealing with here...dead people who don't even know they are dying in here. Poor insulation and ventilation etc. But don't move their cheese and they are ALL set to continue on with their monotonous duties and having no expectation to grow or know anything greater than this!
