Pros

You’ll know your base schedule week to week

Cons

I don’t know how this company has 4 star average on Glassdoor. Where to begin? Honestly, I have worked for many different security companies and this one has to be the worst. First off, the pay isn’t great. Definitely could be better. the worst part is the disorganization. I have had to work overtime and did not receive my overtime pay. We are forced to stay because of whatever reason, but they don’t have an “on call” schedule or they tell us less than an hour left into the shift. It feels like the employees that actually do what they are supposed to do are the ones being punished. How are we supposed to even have work life balance if we have to be prepared to stay?

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.
