Pros

Easy work. Drug free. Client easy to work with.

Cons

Variable hours and inconsistent pay. Will lay workers off without informing them or string them along after being fired. Offered potential jobs to laid off employees without informing them that the jobs fell through. Will use loopholes to refuse employees, below supervisory level, benefits. Hired an unqualified supervisor who forced younger employees to do all online coursework for him and other employees. Lowered starting pay during pandemic. Refused health insurance to many people at our station during pandemic. Cut corners and charged for uniforms that were never given out to some employees or were given the wrong size with no replacements. Will also require you to come in for training or come in early but will not pay you if you didn’t work at the station for those training hours. Required workers to provide their own COVID PPE.

Pros

As a current manager at Sunstates Security, I’ve had the opportunity to see both the operational and employee sides of the business, and overall, my experience has been very positive. The company provides strong support to its leadership team and encourages professional growth. There are clear opportunities for advancement, and I’ve seen many employees—including myself—benefit from internal promotions. Compensation is competitive within the industry, and the benefits package, including healthcare, PTO, and retirement options, adds meaningful value. From a cultural standpoint, Sunstates stands out. There is a consistent emphasis on respect, accountability, and employee recognition, which helps build strong teams and maintain morale. Diversity and inclusion are also genuine priorities. As a manager, I’ve worked with a diverse group of employees and have seen the company foster an inclusive environment where people feel respected and supported. Senior management is approachable and communicates expectations clearly. There is a sense of direction and stability within the organization that makes it easier to lead effectively. Work-life balance can be challenging at times due to the nature of contract security and client needs, but overall, it has been manageable, especially with proper planning and team support.

Cons

Operational demands and scheduling can vary depending on client contracts, which can occasionally require additional flexibility from management.
