Pros

I was hired by Sunstates Security in a Management Role. The management within the office is very helpful when they can, and always available to speak to on any matter. A flexible schedule, which is great for helping with my personal matters. The benefits were available to me from Day One; no issues with them.

Cons

ZERO communication and organization with Management. Information is not passed around verbally, through the phone, or email. If it is passed to you, it’s almost too late to respond to or get done on a timely basis. Managers and Employees openly speak about inappropriate topics, including confidential/sensitive information in front of visitors and employees. Employee write-ups and infractions are pushed under the rug unless severe due to the high turnover rate and inadequate staffing for clients. OJT training is almost non-existent and cobbled together; no organization or paperwork for this. Chain of command is not followed correctly and almost non-existent as well. When I was absent for a few weeks, my work was not covered and left in disarray for when I returned. When improvements and better procedures were presented to organize and create accountability for employees, these ideas were shot down for unknown reasons and forgotten. Blame is passed around when issues arise. The Management and Corporate also expects you to be on-call almost 24/7, including on days off. If incidents happen on your time off and you don’t report them to Corporate within 24 hours, you are reprimanded.

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.
