STT Security Services

I worked for STT for 4 months. I never missed a day and I was never late. This place does not respect a good worker, it was not uncommon for me to work 7, 8, or 9 days in a row without a day off and without overtime on top of my bosses knowing that I'm taking classes at the same time. Your coworkers are not reliable in the least, two people walked off their shift and quit in the same week and it's not uncommon for your relief to just not show up. They take advantage of you with scheduling. I worked every weekend and I would be scheduled in a way where I worked 7-9 days in a row and not get overtime. The bosses are cool and some of the people are cool but it doesn't make up for the way they will screw you over with scheduling. There are no breaks, you eat lunch on the clock, and there is nowhere to advance to. They will find someone who they can rely on, burn them out, and then find someone new. You receive your schedule on a weekly basis, sometimes the day before the work week starts and every day can be a different shift and constantly being called to come in due to people not showing up. It is impossible to have any type of social life working here.

it is an okay company to work for, there is little chance for advancement, they tend to hire friends and family for management.
I have found to my dismay that too many supervisors/managers feel the rules are below them

the insurance is a joke, high cost with poor coverage and an even higher co-pay and you are ineligible for PTO unless you buy their insurance

pay is fair there are lower paying security jobs out there

too many guards are hired with no experience and given the bare minimum training

the uniforms are fine, but like other security companies in Michigan the equipment used buy the employees is in rather poor condition with upper management refusing to fix or replace faulty equipment

over all there are better companies to work for, just not in this state any more, they all seem to be using the same play book for running the company and how they treat the employees

if you want better, find a different field

The typical day on the job was supervising, scheduling, hiring and terminating employees, as well as performing employee evaluations and writing reports.  It was a relaxed atmosphere and upper management were great to deal with.  I learned my strengths and weaknesses while at this position.  The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting people, keeping them safe, and just being helpful.  I wouldn't say there was a hard part of the job.  Overall, the wages were competitive with other security guard agencies in the area, however, employees had to purchase 100% of their benefit package offered by the company which greatly reduced your wages earned.

First started working for them and everything seemed fine but after a few weeks realized everyone was out for themselves. Work schedule kept changing every week and couldn’t get any consistency. Everyone complained if they weren’t relieved 30 minutes prior to end of shift. Absolutely zero growth and none of the other employees have any sort of drive or the need to do anything above and beyond. They all complained about walking to much and having to do patrols every 2 hours when the rest of the time you sit and watch movies. No benefits, no sick days, no growth, no teamwork, no more overtime, nothing. Horrible company. I was Army for 8 years so thought this would be great to do but holy smokes I’d rather headbutt a knife. If you are a lazy sack of life then this job is perfect for you.

STT is the worst company to ever work for. They don't care about their employees. They recently just updated their uniforms and are now refusing to supply winter jackets to certain sites. They want everything done their way even when they are wrong and are trying to implement 40 year old ideas. All they care about is making a money. Their benefits that they offer aren't even worth paying for since almost no one accepts their insurance. Plus you start paying for the benefits at 90 days but you don't get any vacation or sick time until you hit your one year mark. Everyone that works at the corporate building doesn't know what their people have to deal with. They never work later than 5pm. Most sites wont even give you accommodation for religious reasons. Like I said they just want to make money.

This is a good company to work for as long as you don’t mind little room for pay increases. I also would never recommend going into upper management. Pay increases solely depend on the volume of accounts, how much they pay the company for security services and how much service they require. The corporate office and employees are very understanding, prompt and have great communication. I can’t speak for other state managers but for me and the state I managed, I felt micro-managed, underpaid for the amount of work I was performing and took over most of my personal life. In conclusion though, this is a very reputable and good company to work for.

Was hired in at 10.00 a hour, and was told shifts could be up to 8-10 hours long. Upon working for them all shifts were between 3-5 hours, and doing the math they subtracted a half hour lunch from each shift. Bear in mind we were not allowed to take a lunch break at all for such a short shift.
 I explained to the manager upfront before getting hired in I wouldn't work short shifts due to the drive, and after 2 months working for them I quit. Upon quitting I told them the uniform would get returned within the month when I could make the drive to return it, instead I was threatened with a misdemeanor and potential jail time over the phone if it wasn't returned within 24 hours.

I was offered a management position with this company. I put in my two week notice with my current job as requested. I had everything set to start, and I received a call just a few days before starting telling me that they didn't want me to come in still, because they were so short staffed that they didn't feel confident in my ability. Little did they realize I know 30 security guards who are about to lose their jobs soon, that I could have brought with me to this position. I have 11 years experience in managing security, soldiers, and a family business. So my ability and experience was not an issue, the issue was a complete lack of respect from this company. I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING BUSINESS WITH A COMPANY LIKE THIS.

STT has been one of the best companies I have ever worked for.  Everyone who says that you are unable to advance in the company is just not working hard enough.  Hard work allowed me to advance and kept my hours steady all year round.  Corporate leadership is always helpful and honest, you just need to ask.  Cooperation among the entire staff keeps things working well and you can always count on management to assist.  If you are serious about a career in law enforcement or security-related fields, you will not find a better organization to work for.

I often only worked once a week if that and it was sometimes less than once a week. During the fall months I got to work security at CMU games and that was nice but sometimes brief. In the Winter and Spring months I worked inventory and that sucked; you had to get up early carpool for one to three hour drives to stores to do inventory with a 30 year old device that requires you to enter complex codes and count everything on a shelf. The thing that really bothered me was the limited hours and the limited room for advancement. Full time opportunities are very rare and their office is not allowed to use employees as references.
