I had an good experience starting out. At first, I didn't like the fact that I was being bounced around from location to location but I guess its ok if you have reliable transportation.  What I didn't like about the company was the surprise cutting of the hours, I started out work fulltime at 40 hours a week and then next I was down to 20hours a week without warning. I literally had to chase the scheduler for hours, not to mention he's unprofessional. & I can't count on my hands the many times I were sent to the wrong location without apology. Skytech is privately owned, that means they 'll do pretty much what they want to do. There aren't any benefits, they'll have you to pay for preused uniforms and as far as elevation is concerned.. 1 to none. They're cheap, so they're aren't many supervisors in the field. It was a job and I was grateful for it but after awhile I got fed up with the suprises & unprofessionalism.

The company has a thorough, ongoing training program for all officers and supervisors, allowing them to report to worksites with full confidence of what to do and how to do it. This training, along with a range of available work locations, offers opportunities for advancement for anyone who is serious about pursuing a career in the security field.
The company is big enough to utilize the latest technology to meet the high standards set by their clients, but small enough for every employee to have personal contact with their supervisors, and enjoy an open-door policy with upper management.
The pay scales and benefits are competitive, and management has policies in place to make sure that employees are always treated fairly, and with respect.


If you are looking to work in the City of Chicago and you really have a desire to work in the security field, Skytech Security is a place you would want to work for. They have available work and if you can do the following, observe and report, report for duty on time, provide great customer service, and keep your appears up, you should have no problems working for the company. In this day in age where security is so important where safety is a priority to everyone, the client expect nothing less. In which case, the company's expectation are as such. As long as I come to do my job, no problems. If you always have excuses for not following rules, trust and believe you will have problems. This goes for any place you work for. I like were I work at because if I put in an honest days work, I get paid for the important work that I do.

I worked for SkyTech for 8 years until retirement. During that time I served in various internal capacities from recruiting to Operational Management. The company offers a unique opportunity for all levels of employee to see first hand the detail of running a small to midsized business. The goals and expectations of the company are clearly defined and implemented. The Officers are treated fairly and given the tools they need to achieve their mission. The Supervisors are well trained and for the most part promoted through the ranks. The overall atmosphere is professional but with an openness that allows the employees to feel important. I would recommend SkyTech to anyone who is willing to accept the complex challenges of a career in Security.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company itself was good but some of the field supervisors, the females wasn’t professional

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Deal with the female field supervisor

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I didn’t really get to know the company that long. I was only there short period of time. I just know that it wasn’t for me and I have over 26 years experience in security.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s was ok I was at a site for a man because they was using the outhouse and I’m a female and I was working from 3 to 11 so I had to make sure that I didn’t drink too much of anything because I was scared to go to the washroom

A Good Company to apply for, Learned how to adapt at different types of sites,Impressive management, hardest part of the job is being a floater security officer; meaning you never have a stable position nor a stable site to work at, an you get sent to different sites just to ge 32 to 40hrs a week. The most enjoyable part of the job is getting to know different types of ethic groups throughout the time you work wthin the company. Im a great person to work with so it was easy for me to get along with all types of people rather than being to myself when its time to complete a task on the assign shift.

A typical day at this job was productive for the most part. I was always on my feet patrolling, checking in hourly by phone and writing reports after every shift. The hardest part of this position was leaving a site after getting used to the location and other staff members. The most enjoyable part was making friends with the staff that wasn't apart of my contract company. I worked alone sometimes so co workers were few far and in between. When I did work with others it was always productive, and before I knew it, it was time to go home.

16 years in security and this is by far the worst company I have ever had the misfortune of working for. They don't care about their employees even invested in a health insurance company after being forced to by the Obama care act, that filled bankruptcy soon after we got it. They are wicked and will stoop to lying on you just to get rid of you or write you up. They don't want employees that build incentives with them instead they encourage the supervisors to write you up as much as possible and to be mean to you or treat you like a child so you can be stressed just coming to work. I do not recommend ever applying with them

I worked for SkyTech for 3 years. During that time I had a wide variety of assignments and locations around the city of Chicago. All the locations were easily assessable and offered different experiences. The post orders were clear and supervision was always available. I had several personal setbacks while I was there but was able to manage them and keep a job. If you are willing to work hard, follow orders and are flexible, SkyTech offers a complete employment package that is hard to beat in Chicago.
