Management is so bad. They say they are willing to help you but in fact when you change to another location you pay will likely go down to minimum wage. The hours are ridiculous. They throw you into a site without giving you the complete details of the site. If you do not have a cell phone you cannot work for them because it is a must have for calling to clock in. There are other Security companies that pay you better or have better benefits. You have your PTO and sick pay all wrapped up in one which is maxed at a use of 40 hours a year yet you cannot use your PTO for anything other than being sick or a family member is sick, or unless you have a doctors appointment. They hirer you on the word that you can and will always have a job site, yet when it comes down to it they cut your hours and send you to a site that is less money. Your paycheck always changes because the head guy can't do math correctly and keeps changing how much of your paycheck goes to taxes. You have to constantly check your paycheck to make sure you are being paid the right hourly rate and your hours are correct. Even though you call in to say you are at work and they have it on record it doesn't matter unless you submit your timesheet to them by the date it says on the timesheet, if you do not then you only get paid for when you scheduled shifts are not for any overtime you may have had from a coverage that you had worked, and you will not get that money because you did not submit your timesheet on time. The supervisors that drive around are very unprofessional in both work ethic and appearance. There is one dispatch guy that is pretty cool but the other cannot even speak coherent english let alone understand what you are saying and keeps getting everything you say wrong and doesn't want to let you speak to the other dispatcher. The company doesn't supply you with all the required items for your shift and they expect you to pay for the items required. They do supply uniforms but the pants are all previously worn, and either too big or too small, the pants have holes in them or buttons missing, they throw a fit if you ask for a belt. they require you to have your own vehicle to drive on the site but do not pay for your gas or any damages to the vehicle saying that you cannot prove the damage happened on the site even if you tell the supervisor of the damages when it happens. The management is very one sided when it comes to someone they like and the person that they don't like as much as the other person. You are always wrong when it comes to something that management says you did even if you did not do the thing you were accused of. I can go on and on about this company when it comes to how it is and only one of the things are positive and that is the one dispatcher I mentioned above about how he is pretty cool.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Convenient hours and supervisor support . 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
dealing with the homeless individuals and trying to work around the clients policies and methods of their security processes

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I honestly can't comment about the work environment or culture of the company's office or other employees. From what I have noticed the company has a diverse work force and has employed some very qualified people.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I show up for my shift, make my rounds checking on known thieves, check in with client management, stand my post being vigilant of trespasser's and undesirables. My shift is 5 hours so to break the boredom and make the most of my day I assist customers at times especially if I happen to notice an undesirable in lot or on the premises. I notify management of any problems that my arise within the store or in the parking lot.

So I was with the company for months & the last site they had me at i was working less than 40 a week basically when I pay bills etc I asked them for more hours & they didn't even give them to me but gave new employees more hours than me especially when the new employees were already working in a grocery store as they're assigned post. They're very unprofessional & have miscommunication. They're always losing contracts & if they're about to lose a contract they won't tell you basically until the day before. They have firewatch rn but didn't schedule me down for it but gave new employees those hours when they know I was a good employee & was willing to work anywhere. I understand giving other people a chance to work but older employees have bills to pay as well. Also your check may be short sometimes which is another flaw about the company.

Tried to move up get promoted. The manager shut me down almost as if he was afraid I would take his job. Was just looking to benefit the management team and make guards happy. He said guards just get placed and should learn what to do on the job. No formal training and they just sent me out to a few places with no clear idea what to do. They concentrate very highly on getting new business and making clients promises and then just throw bodies at sites. Very bad business and 80% of guards are very very dissatisfied here. I hope they don't fire me over expressing my thoughts of the reality in this company. I am currently looking for another company where my experience is valued and where they treat guards right. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part with working with company was when we had a branch manager  that cared one didn't lie to make himself look good..

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working and trying different  employees every other day .Being lied to about a raised that we never got.That showed me how much the company cared about me as a person and a supervisor..

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very busy, and unorganized  the employees seem to not care and used to doing what they want ..There not mindful of others this was my worse experience  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy ,but I love what I do so I did my very best to make this company stand out .I had personal  time with each individual

Mixed experience working at Blackstone. There were significant issues with payroll, including bounced checks and delayed payments. 

However, I had a positive experience with my manager in Colorado Springs. He was incredibly supportive, always available regardless of the time, and genuinely cared about our team's success. He provided rides in the snow when we needed and he fostered a supportive environment.

On the other hand, the manager in Denver exhibited aggressive behavior and seemed to dismiss employees based on personal conflicts. This created a stark contrast in management styles within the company. While my direct supervisor was supportive and focused on team success, higher management appeared to prioritize obedience over constructive feedback.

I recently interviewed with this company but will not say for what position. After the first interview, I was immediately contacted for a second and final interview. That interview went just as well as the first and they gave me their word I would have their decision on a certain date. I was so excited that I have a good chance at being a part of such a great company that I sat all day refreshing my email only to be met with silence. I waited 3 days and finally sent a follow-up email only to again be met with silence. It was the next day I learned I was not chosen. That part is ok, but what got me was the first interaction with this company showed me they don't keep their word. BIG RED FLAG and I'm glad they didn't choose me. My word means everything and don't want to be lead by leaders who don't.

Everyone has heard about BlackStone Security whether it be bad or good. I always heard bad. I went in for an interview to find out their under new management!!! I was hired on the spot!! The Manager is very helpful and will work with you as much as he can. 
Supervisor’s are laid back easy going. Never turns down a question and always there to give a helping hand. Management makes you feel like family not just a number or body. Everyone works as a team. I get 40 hrs a week set schedule!! Could not ask for a better group of people to work with!!! 

COME JOIN THE BLACKSTONE FAMILY!!!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company that accepts flirty frat guards and then allows them to be supervisors lol worst company that doesn't require any true techniques or training tactics .. armed or unarmed ... the pay is mediocre at best ..

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The fact they will make a immature person with daddy issues a supervisor.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like kids at a playground only it's grown adults bringing Nintendo switches to work and little coloring books

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Just great if you like the kiddy supervisor that will ruin your 1st day back from vacation.
