HSS Hospitality Staffing Solutions

If you are thinking of signing on with HSS, you may want to pass this one up. I worked there for two years and found the whole experience lacking. The officers themselves start at $10.30 per hour. Considering the specialized IAHSS training that is 'required', the pay rate was atrocious. You could earn the same pay watching dirt all night at a construction site. My officers couldn't even afford the 'benefits' package offered by the company. Thankfully, I was a supervisor, but the pay-rate was still low considering my management duties and the pay of my peers.

Remember, if you work in private security you are not considered to be a human being. You are ambulatory furniture, and are treated as such by the client. For instance, the medical staff I watched over complained to the director I answered to that I "did not smile enough or say 'good morning' enough..." This is how they view the world...through sheep's eyes. The concept of security or promoting a safe environment for the staff and patients was completely lost on these people. They want the appearance of security, not actual security. My particular site was in the news two years ago because a patient that was supposed to be watched by medical staff, managed to walk outside, steal an ambulance, and end up getting shot to death by the local police. Who did they attempt to blame? That's right...security, despite the fact that security was never called to watch this patient.

The management of the company is what I call 'typical management'. That is, they will pay lip-service to any concerns and look interested, and give you the 'our people are our strength' speech, but in the end, the employees will not be supported. Just as in any other security company, there is a lot of 'turn and burn' in this one. HSS is an 'at will' company and they are very liberal in its usage. I was required to terminate good officers several times for no other reason than the client wanted them gone. No questions asked. When my time came, it was because the director I answered to 'felt' that I 'didn't fit in'. This was after working on the site for two years and turning a group of elderly and lazy 'awe-shucks' security officers into a professional team who took their jobs seriously and put the hospital's needs first.

...but...I committed the ultimate crime in the hospital world. I didn't smile enough.

Avoid this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I loved the fact they sent to different places, that got me a lot of experience working in different settings weather I worked in hospitals that dealt with mental and behavioral problems or hospitals where I dealt with burn units or ER settings, everything was good and gave me a good variety of places in which i did environmental services.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Maybe getting a lot of discharges and trying to get  them done in quality efficient way and still getting all your other work done, I can say I never left work for others to complete

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone is respectful courteous and friendly, in the office they were really nice when you came in to pick up your check

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
you clock in ,go to morning meeting, set your cart up, and start cleaning, rooms or offices whichever come first then, if you get a discharge stop go do it make sure its done right, and as fast as you can then let the nurse know it done let your supervisor know its done then go back to doing rooms do shower rooms, offices anything that your suppose to, plus all discharges, then you stock your cart, take your rags and mop heads that are dirty out, lock up your cart and take stuff to laundry. when working at state hospital, which i also worked at. make sure of your surroundings. make sure to lock gates  and doors behind yourself.  do not get to close to the patients who all can be unpredictable...safety first, always

This job sucks. Don't even bother to apply. They will use you to the extent of their needs not yours. The Job pays $12 an hour, but is not worth the work you do. The turn over rate is so high and they wonder why.  They treat us bad, refuse to give us a pay raise especially to people who have been working here for a year or more. They expect us to do overtime and if you don't, they will ignore you and will give you attitude. If someone calls off, they will force someone to held over for 4 hours, even if they give you a 10 min notice before your shift ends. If you say no even after they " Force " you to, they will either give you a final write up or fire you no matter what. If you want to work here, this is a list you should not have
a family
friends
A life
kids
a house or were ever you stay, because you will spend most of your time here.
Moral of all of this, 
Pay is low, I don't trust my co workers to get my back, they are either very tiny, old, or fat and slow,
The stuff you deal with here is ok and can get very overwhelming and is not worth $12 an hour.
Management sucks, Always mandatory overtime, constant write-ups for stupid things that you mess up on.
Everything about this company needs to be changed and maybe they would not have such a high turn over rate and better reviews.

This job is very physical don't apply if you're only expecting to get a pay check out of it. The hardest part of the job is balancing glasses, plates and silverware on an oval tray if you have never carried before. There are more pros then there are cons with working within this company some pros are the pay is decent, working different and diverse venues and learning new experiences along the way. Some of the cons would be that it's a temporarily/ seasonal work so when the peak season ends so does your job, low hours on off peak days. A typical day at work starts with wearing a uniform, setting up for events, being assigned tables or areas, and then carrying a tray of plates to guests. I myself haven't mastered carrying (10) entrees yet but I have been working on it the most that I can carry is (8) at a time. The trays with (10) entrees weigh about (50lbs) and if your balance is off you could drop the entire tray of food.

The most enjoyable part of the job is learning new experiences and meeting people you would not normally meet, plus the staff is amazing.

The guys in the office are really nice, but the work assignments are sometimes sporadic and their is the real possibility of clients cancelling orders for shifts leaving you with less or no hours for the week.  I expected to be placed at a temp to hire position at a school and was told I was hired for the assignment and then the client just never got back to Hospitality Staffing and after several weeks of the client not returning phone calls and wondering what happened I was told that they hired some one independently.  I thought it was rude of the client to tell me I was hired after our interview and that she would contact my agency immediately and then just never follow up with my agency.  While that's not the fault of Hospitality it is something you have to deal with if your work with them.

Very good working with the Company and I will go back anytime I was pleased with the Company when I worked there they welcomed us every morning and we did exercise each morning to loosen up and breakfast was provided Everyday the only reason I am not working right now is that because I had Family issues  to take care of But I can always go back and I will always Love working with the Company They have great experience and will help you find the best job for you everytime you get work with them and your schedule will be there every time and I Love them when they made the schedule I always got morning shifts and I was always off and home by 5 o'clock every day  and I really appreciate the time off if you needed it the will always give u your request days off no problem at all with that so yes I will always keep them in mind when I need to get work again for future reference that's the Company I will go to  for the most part

It was honestly not bad, I got placed at the beau Rivage. I will say I believe we should have gotten hazard pay or something due to it being around covid time and working around so many people (I was on the casino floor) but otherwise it was pretty laid back, over night crew we had decent music (in my opinion) to listen to while we cleaned. We did not deal with HSS very much at all so it's hard to really review them, the ladies in the office were nice when i went in a few times. 99.9% of all job related communications after placement was done through job not HSS anymore. Only if you had an issue with your placement did you contact HSS. I will say I wish they would have contacted the employees every so often to check on us and make sure things were going okay. That would be one thing they could really improve on.

Everyone meets up before our shift and have a meal and greet each other as if it's our first encounter. We know what our job consists of and each person was always ready to get the party started. I learned how to be a true team player because when one fail we all fail and we strive for success each event. The hardest part of the job is the physical part lifting and moving fast to satisfy our guest in a safe manner, while paying attention to details. Time management is very crucial when it comes keeping up with the event ceremonies as they are scheduled. When it's all said and done after each event I can kick off my shoes and be proud of doing a good job. My coworkers are my back bone always and I am their backbone always.

Company is great. Great benefits and great team management. We all have our ups and down days but we always seem to pull it through.Our team always starts off with a morning pre shift where we discuss the daily activities and safety regulations. The crew always seems to agree with everything we have to say. Customer service and safety is our main thing when it comes to a big contract at the Beau Rivage. If any of our management team has a problem with any of our employees, we resolve them in the most professional manner. Our customers at the Beau Rivage where always satisfied with our job performance and if there where any problems we would resolve them right away again, with a professional matter.
