All City Management Services

A typical day as a crossing guard with All City Management Services starts early and is very repetitive. The job itself is simple and important helping children cross the street safely but the constant oversight makes it unnecessarily stressful. Supervisors frequently micromanage even experienced guards, which creates frustration rather than support.

What I learned is that the role requires patience, reliability, and the ability to deal with poor communication from management. Unfortunately, there’s very little opportunity to grow or feel trusted in your role.

Management at the Arlington, Texas location is a major issue. Micromanaging is excessive, morale is low, and concerns raised by employees often go ignored. This contributes to an extremely high turnover ratepeople are constantly quitting or being replaced, which says a lot about the work environment.

The workplace culture feels tense and unsupportive. Instead of teamwork, it feels like employees are constantly being watched or corrected over minor issues. There’s little appreciation shown for doing the job well.

The hardest part of the job is dealing with management rather than the work itself. The most enjoyable part is interacting with the children and knowing you’re helping keep them safe if not for that, the job wouldn’t be worth staying in.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come on-board, I do YOGA just prior to my shift, unlike traditional guards that just sit-on-their-lawn-chair, I began this 'Mindset-change' day 2 of my job as I felt board just standing there til' the 'CLAN-came-Onboard' to deliver there kids to school or pick-up.   After everyone has gone home, I can Sing, just be artist of life!

I am a recruiter for ACMS. I love working remote. However as I started progressing in the role, I was asked to do more than I was hired to do. Then when I asked to be compensated I was insulted and  told that I should be able to manage my current task and new tasks without an increase of pay or additional hours. The management loves to find someone blame when their programs fail, they never take into account that they dont properly budget for crossing guards or proper advertisement. They want a BIG return for putting in little money and effort. For example, my job responsibilities went from recruiting from one state to recruiting for multiple states. They only gave 20 hours a week for one state and continued to add more states without any compensation. They are very unorganized! One day you will be told to do something and the next day you'll be asked to do something else. This company is okay to work for if you NEED to be remote. However, for the compensation and the required job duties its not worth it if you can find something else.

This company is like flat bike tire that is never completely replaced—the tire is just repeatedly patched. 

Pay is limited to part-time hours despite work being done off the clock (against the company’s policy) in order to figure out what is going on and how to do the job. Training and onboarding are lacking. But they can’t expect someone to be fully dedicated to managing others for the pay and hours offered. 

Perfect job for someone who doesn’t need a paycheck but has the time and desire to work for the sake of providing safety for people coming and going from schools on foot. 

Revolving door is to be expected when you don’t have work over the summer as well. 

The professional etiquette is lacking and seriously needing to be addressed by those in “upper management.” You can tell a lot about the job by the way your superior speaks. If your superiors are miserable, prepare to hate your own job. Leadership sets the tone and sadly, the tone is very immature for someone who is a professional. 

Management is the hardest part of working for all city. The  Property manager is the direct contact and she is difficult to say the least.  Anyone who takes this position will be under surveillance constantly .  The building is equipped with cameras and the property manager will be confirming everything you say via the video.  
  You will be tasked with handling maintenance and supervising an assistant, however the property manager will be making all maintenance decisions.  The property manager does not have experience in any skilled trade yet she will be questioning products used and timelines for completion.  
The property manager will be unreasonable when it comes to speaking to upper management and will retaliate if you reach out to verify procedures.  

I enjoyed this job. My supervisor was very nice and social and sometimes I met other great crossing guards to work with. Usually I worked alone at my station and many adults would jay walk right before or after my crosswalk, sometimes even with their children, just to avoid being "helped" across the street. The most difficult part of the job was probably the adults who crossed illegally while yelling at me about how they don't need my help or the cars that refused to stop and would honk at me. The most rewarding parts were cultivating relationships with parents who obeyed the rules and enjoyed holding a conversation for a while and the children who would thank me for helping them.

I have worked for All City Management Services for the last 10 years and I'm currently still employed with the company. I wanted to work here because I know first hand the importance of how to cross the street safely and I teach all who I cross the correct way to cross the street. My little brother was 4 years old when he was hit by a pick up truck and almost died. He had to learn to walk,talk,be potty trained all over again. And to this day he has a little brain damage. I don't want anyone to have to go through what my family went through. If I can save lives by teaching them the correct way to cross the street , I'm satisfied. This is a great company to work for. I feel it's the second most important job in life. A parent trusting you with their child's safety. You'd be amazed at how many car run through the crosswalk every week while I'm in it.My job is not hard, but very important.

I worked here for a short time which was probably for the better. When I went in for my interview I got hired on the spot without even going through with the interview process. I worked multiple different stops throughout the week and genuinely really enjoyed the job and developing new relationships with everyone I met that day but the management here is absolutely horrible. There was no schedule for when to work, I would text my manager the Friday before every work week with my availability and usually wouldn't hear back till the day of (at 6am) or day before about a job. Last time I heard from my manager was months ago, I let her know when I would be available for weeks with no response and still haven't heard a thing from her or the company. If you don't care about good management then this is a great job for you but if you actually want to work a serious job with relatively decent communication then this is NOT the place for you.

I worked for almost 2 years, first year got shuffled around from one city to the next, and when it took me 20-30 minutes to get to location to me it wasn't worth it for an hour of work.  Once I was at the same place every day it got a little better.  Then I was injured, had a couple of surgeries, was going through PT and they wanted me to work a totally different job for less money and more hours, said no its not a job doc will let me do and was at the end of school year, never heard back then when school started was told bye-bye...even though I finally had been cleared by doc during the summer.  

It can be a dangerous job especially the way people just don't care anymore. Its been a couple of years since I worked there and wouldn't even consider it now unless its not a crazy busy area. If you can't move that quick to get out of the way of people running the light or stop sign, I'd advise not doing it. I can't count how many times I was almost hit or harassed.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Just a great company to work for. Everyone is knowledgeable and no pressure. Training is excellent for all possible positions. Very flexible schedule and follows the school district calendars too. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If there is too many call outs and not having enough coverage for the sites can be stressful and hectic on a moments notice. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Half remotely and half in the field which makes it a breeze as an Area Supervisor. Culture is appreciated with everyone. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends on my staff, and if I have to do check ups on my guards. Or if I have to cover a shift at a site. It’s not bad. Just have to be extra alert in all situations and surroundings.
