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.

There are no Pros at all!

Cons

Owner is a horrible human being and does not care about employees at all. The company is ran by him and a small click of employees just like him! Do not for this man!

Pros

Enjoyed networking with local businesses and gaining more experience with hiring, evaluation, etc. of employees. Liked hearing from people in the community that the lot looked better. Also, it's a pro that I don't work there anymore...only work here if you are desperate or plan to discreetly look for other employment at the same time.

Cons

While the community noticed the improvements in the appearance of the lot, this was not echoed by folks at Headquarters. I brought in my own tools to fix equipment, including welding. I (and my team) increased sales over 50% in a year and yet this gained me nothing in terms of those in charge. When the Dept of Labor law about overtime pay for exempt workers was supposed to go into effect, instead of raising my pay, the owner chose to take me down to hourly and cut my pay over $3/hour. With overtime I would've had a $2,000 increase but even that was an insult considering my relatively low starting salary and the vast improvements I had made. Hostile and toxic work environment. People are fired frequently. All positions are expected to use their own equipment for relatively low pay. Company does not adhere to OSHA or DOT regulations. When this is mentioned to the owner he ignores it or flat out demands that employees proceed. Product and pricing are absurd. Trailers are old and in constant need of repair. Outrageous pricing lost multiple deals on our lot. When I left, they refused to give me my last paycheck. Despite citing the Maryland laws which forbids denying a paycheck, I've still had to make a complaint to Dept. of Labor.
