Pros

You receive your paycheck every other Friday. There isn't any management presence, very low expectation of performance, next to impossible to get fired.

Cons

They have zero concern for their employees or their clients. They only want their money, just like the majority of security companies only different name and logo.

Pros

Get paid on pay day's, usually without mistakes and if a mistake it will get fixed eventually. Benefits don't start until 180 days after starting and if you don't track it, to bad for you!

Cons

Never receive uniform allotment unless you keep asking, then you'll get dumped on a different scheduled than you were first on.

With the consistent company growth that Sunstates Security has experienced over the last 5 years, the push for more job seekers to start applying with Sunstates is needed.
