Star Protection Agency LLC

It's hard to rate a security company in WA as of now with knowing what the employment market is like.

Due to certain circumstances, star hired me to take the reigns of a large site with much to work on. from that date up until this day, Star has been the best security company I've ever worked for. But in saying this, this does not mean they are flawless.

If one were to read reviews before try out the hiring process, Id warn them that you need to know what barrel you are looking down and which one you want to brave. There are many different kinds of sites to work and and some will wear you down very quickly. If you take the SRO job, be expected to be called every day and have a broad field of opportunity to log hours. With that, be prepared to give up your free time and family life (if you have it), as every security company has to scramble to meet contract standards.

Star is like any security company, in that they must fill positions to make clients happy. But, I will say that they far surpass all other companies in the state when it comes to communication between employees.  Information is key in this field and you need to be able to rely on your employer to talk to you. Star excels on mass in the transfer of information. This is why the company has been growing as quick as it has. It unfortunately gets bogged down by the people that it hires who tend to poison the well. But, I would not say this is entirely their fault, as there is a major need for guards in the state that just cant be filled with prime quality people.

I have been working for Star over a year now. My duty station is about 30 mins away from where I live. Most of the time they have a problem filling the position that relieves me from duty. This makes a stressful situation where if they couldn't find someone, I am obligated to stay. I interact with supervisors or management maybe once a six months if something goes wrong. Its not bad for steady pay and little personal interaction, but not great for advancement or if your the type that gets bored easily.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Work experience training. Personal ownership. Self-disciplinary accountability.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Personnel cooperation! Following procedures and protocols!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Educational and informative based on circumstances.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Environmental adaptation according to circumstances.

I worked as an armed security for the company. The pay was decent and the overtime hours varied. You would basically be offered overtime is someone else did not show up to their shift. You would simply cover for them and get their hours. The management was somewhat decent. It would take hours or days to receive a response from them. Most of the post are laid back with nothing much happening. The only reason I'm leaving the company is because I got a better job offer.

Great career experience. Job dutiesMinor Investigations
Removed criminal trespassers, persons of interest, Acting Dispatch Officer Opening loading dock for business workers. Patrol lobbies, corridors, and public rooms, confer with management, interview guests and employees and interrogates persons to detect infringements, investigate disturbances, complaints, thefts, vandalism, etc. Patrol public areas to detect fires, unsafe conditions and damaged or inoperative safety equipment.

I don't work inside the Star Protection Agency office, but when we need to go and visit the office, they are always welcoming and they are trying to serve and help you and solve your problem. I love the site that I am working as a security officer. People here are very kind and friendly and I call it second home.

Management was so understanding of my situation and they constantly worked with me. If I needed to pick up another shift and it was available I was allowed to. If I had to take care of my family member management worked with me so I could still make my hours and keep this job. Work and communication were extremely efficient. Training was provided so I had zero difficulty doing my job. 

Everything has its expiration date. This job has taken years of my life and I’ve been the same position no advancement and when the opportunity comes they give it to their favorite people instead of hard workers that put their time and effort to succeed. There’s no opportunity to improve with this company. 

Star Protection is hands-down one of the greatest security companies I have ever worked for. The Houston branch which hired me were very professional and second to none. I previously worked for high caliber companies; such as Blackwater (Academi), Triple Canopy, and Aegis. I found that Star Protection has nothing to envy regarding other companies I worked for. They are dedicated, and only looking to provide services to the right clientte.......Best company I've ever worked for.....
