St. Moritz Security Services, Inc.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They have no advancements for employees.
The fairness of each employees are ignored. They also have employees that don't show any empathy towards other employees and residence that live in the community, and the terrible employees are still working. They also have undocumented workers employed by the property managers working in the ground maintenance and lawn services department that don't have legal identification working on the grounds. They have poor caring of employees vehicles. How you leave your vehicle is not how it looks when you leave. The lawn maintenance crew damage your vehicle while you are working by sand blast your vehicles with the blowers while in the parking lot. They also turn sprinklers systems on with the rusty water blasting on drivers side of vehicles while you are at  work. When you leave work at night shift they turn on sprinklers and I got wet from the drivers side of my vehicle trying to enter my vehicle. When you report these incidents to the supervisor,  nothing you report is corrected. Very unfair treatment of my working at the business. 



What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The employees that work there have very aggressive behaviors towards me. They also don't want you to communicate with them. Poor communication skills. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was poor. I had to clean behind others just to stay safe for me and also other employees safety. The culture are mixed cultures.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very tensed because none of the employees like you. You try and try to work hard and work with employees as a team , but none of teamwork is going on at that facility. I don't know about the other facilities.

Working at this company was a challenging experience. The work environment is extremely rigid and overly controlled, as though it were a high-security facility under constant scrutiny (Spoiler alert: it’s a warehouse that might close in August!). The supervisor exhibited an excessively strict management style, focusing heavily on minor infractions such as small errors on paperwork or untucked shirts. This approach created a tense and overly demanding atmosphere for employees, eventually leading to apathy for the job site as a whole. This trend appears common in the turnover I’ve learned about since starting here. 

Additionally, the workplace seemed to lack balance, many coworkers were consumed by the job, and as such, revolved their identity and livelihood over it by taking the job too seriously. Be prepared to how your personal life questioned if you can’t conform to the ridiculous standards with a smile everyday working 6 days a week. Be prepared to report managers of the client site and jeopardize their job. Be prepared to write reports about TVs and lights being on.

Training also left much to be desired, with trainers exposing employees to secondhand smoke. There were also concerns regarding the handling of sensitive personal information, such as copies of social security cards, which were not stored securely. Including the SSN of anyone who interviewed, let alone got the job. 

Overall, while this role may suit someone who thrives in an environment with high standards and rigorous oversight, it may not be ideal for those who value a supportive and balanced work culture.

I didn't mind the company at first, got along with everyone fine and seemed like I was finally in the friendly environment I had been wanting for a while. I was quick to realize that I was wrong. 

*If you aren't sucking up and doing way more than you should, you're not going to like it here.*

Examples include:
- Clients words are law when determining whether you stay at a site or not. 
- If you're moved to a different site due to "disciplinary reasons", be prepared to get stuck somewhere with bad pay, the worst hours, or both. This will inturn also Isolate you. (This is designed specifically to get you to quit, as overheard from upper management.) Also, when you get put at a different site, don't expect to get checked on by anyone unless it's a disciplinary or a Uniform Inspection.
- When/If you get a movement disciplinary, it doesn't matter if you contend it or not, you're getting moved regardless because the client wants you gone.
- You get NO PTO accrual, vacation pay, and the "benefits" you do get are as if they got ran over a bus... multiple times. You're better going private. (Heard you also get unpaid paternity leave if you're an expecting father)
- If you aren't apart of upper managements inner circle, don't expect to get promoted.
- If they promise something, it's the exact opposite.
- IF you do end up working here, make sure your pay is discussed properly and verified. Was told a position was going to be "$$" but then to someone else it was more and they got the position because they were apart of upper managements circle. 

In the end, it is ultimately your choice to work here, but I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

-Clients words are law when determining whether you stay at a site or not BECAUSE clients are the reason that the company exists, how you get your paycheck, if they lose clients, they lose business, you lose jobs, company won’t exist. 

-Insurance offered could be better but we can’t have it all. Those decisions are made by people far above out of local managements hands. 

- If you're moved to a different site due to "disciplinary reasons", be prepared to get stuck somewhere where you may not be able to make that mistake again. I.e. if you can’t work unsupervised responsibly then you’ll be moved somewhere where there is supervision to keep you straight, or you hit on coworkers you’ll be moved where the temptation is less. OR just don’t do stuff you aren’t supposed to do aTHEN you won’t get moved.

- When/If you get a movement disciplinary, it doesn't matter if you contend it or not, you're getting moved regardless because the client wants you gone…..isn’t that better than being fired??? It’s either that or lose the client and everyone at that site losing that jobs and the company losing contracts. 

- If you aren't apart of upper managements inner circle, expect to get promoted… I know someone personally who went from new hire to upper management in the matter of a few years.

-Management will work with you on your schedule when needed, will help you with many things, even help when money is tight out of their own pockets. I’ve heard of multiple people of management doing this for worthy reasons. 


The contract security industry is driven by the client. This company places the client first even when they know the client creates a toxic work environment not just with the contract security team but there own team. I have never worked with a client or a company that is so lopsided. I would be sick on my way to work daily and sick whenever I ran into this unprofessional client and the team of them. The day I walked on the property there was toxicity and it never went away, as large as St Moritz is sometimes in this industry you have to push back especially when the client is running the security staff, several other issues that is going past the contract that the client agreed to allow us to do. If the contract managers were allowed to actually do there job without being micromanaged the contract would be successful. In transparency other accounts that are in the Cleveland/Akron market that St Moritz has the client is hands on but also allows the contract company to do there job and believe it or not  it runs smooth Of course there will be hiccups its contract security at low wages, you will NOT find quality at the rate the client wants to pay. If you are an inspiring contract security manager stay out of the industry, it is not worth to be at any company or client beck and call 24/7  its the best move I have made in 12 years.

I am a former employee that was terminated for no reason. I showed up everyday and did my job as thorough as can be. I had no write ups, was never late, never called off and had no complaints from the clients/managers or the manager that I worked for. I worked as a armed guard for 2 months then was promoted to field supervisor. After 90 days I was terminated as a supervisor for no reason. They will work you 7 days a week, multiple weeks in a row, 10-16 hours everday as a supervisor. They will take advantage of you. You can make more money being a guard with no experience and no care for the rules of St. Moritz. If you are a breaker they will make you take your lunch and breaks within the first 3 1/2 - 4 hours of your 8 hour shift. Also if you work more than 8 hours, 90% of the time you will NOT get your additional breaks provided by law. There also will be issues with YOUR pay check. This company recycles employees. I feel that the local operation in my mind is not ran with a productive operations manager. I stirred the pot for the better of the company and was let go for doing my job. Be advised when they terminate you and when you file for unemployment they will say you quit. Be aware. I recommend not working for this company.

Working for St. Moritz, no day was ever the same.  Depending on the importance of the duties that needed to get done is how my day started.  Working to ensure quality customer service and addressing issues that may have possibly occurred the night before, as we also did overnight work was one of my biggest responsibilities.  I oversaw and made sure the supervisors were doing their jobs, collecting timesheets for the weekly payroll that I needed to complete, as well as ensuring that guards were on time, not exceeding their eight hour shifts, giving breaks, and disciplining when necessary.  I would have to say that the most difficult part of my job was having to lay off hard workers due to lack of available positions.  The turn around rate with clients was fairly high, especially with special events, as those are temporary.  Although the position required that I wear many hats, work under pressure at times, and meet tight deadlines, I really enjoyed the fact that I was able to work with people, serve their needs, and shown some gratification at the end of the day for my hard work which made it well worth it.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Honestly, the beat part of working for the company would probably be the chill people you'll sometimes meet, and how laid back and easy it can be depending on the site

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Depending on the site, probably having to deal with people who are either drunk, high, or crazy

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment mainly depends on the site you're stationed at, you could get stationed at an aluminum plant, a construction site, etc.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well, for the first year, a typical day was waking up around 3 in the afternoon, play some games, hang out with friends, going to the gym, anything I wanted until 11:30 rolled around and I went to work from 11:30 pm to 7:30 am, Wednesday to Saturday, on Sunday i had no time to do anything because the moment I got home, I would have to go to sleep, then wake up around 1 or 2 pm to get to work at 3:30 pm and work to 11:30 pm, I had an 8 hour turnaround, the second site I had Thursdays and Sundays off and every other day I worked from 7 pm to 3 am, I barely had time to do anything unless it was my day off

Communication is nonexistent Unless they need you to cover someone or God forbid you’re a minute late. This job will truthfully get you nowhere if I’m being realistic. it’s a place to start security if you’re willing to turn yourself into an NPC. i’d recommend looking for another job Immediately if you’re starting here (preferably allied universal) given how expensive New York has gotten the pay is just not worth it, with no signs or even a mention of a pay raise in the near future. It’s also very shady how they will give you enough hours to where it seems like you’re working a lot but it was always be just under 40 hours so they could never pay overtime. They were always guilt trip you for calling out even if you have a legitimate reason claiming they have no other guards. You can inform them you’re running late but countless times I reach my job site and to a ticked off manager who was only informed about my lateness an hour after I had communicated it to my higher ups. Overall this place is a mess I don’t see where it’s going and I can understand why people leave as soon as they come. This company has no future

St. Moritz Security is not a LGBT friendly employer in my eyes. Myself being transgender, I have had issues with this company. I was let go from a Regional Manager position about 3 years ago and a new employee was put in my position. I was the one that got the accounts for the company starting out in my home and later leading to an office. I did many office duties such as scheduling, payroll, sales, customer service, armed and unarmed security and human resources to name a few. I was never disciplined or had any write ups for the company to demote me. The new manager was told not to give me hours even though when I was let go, I was told I could make more money than I was making being an hourly employee. Needless to say the employee did not have any manager experience and the company lost all but a few accounts within the first year. Today, the company has 4 part time employees in Toledo that are used as a fill in basis when a job comes into the area, with me of course being last to get any hours. Since then the Toledo office was closed and all business is handled through their Youngstown office.
