FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which employers offer full-time security positions with benefits in San Antonio?+
Sunstates Security posts Full-Time, Part-Time and Flex armed and unarmed positions in San Antonio with weekly pay and a comprehensive benefits package: 401k savings plan with company match, medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, premium holiday pay, tuition reimbursement, employee referral bonuses, and life insurance — available for qualified full-time candidates. Excelsior Defense (a SA-based firm with a 3.4-star Glassdoor rating) posts FT at $17.75–$22.68/hr with health and dental insurance. Allied Universal's FT armed financial institution post in San Antonio (swing shift Mon–Fri) pays $19/hr with access to retirement savings, medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, and disability coverage. GardaWorld FT positions include medical, dental, vision, 401k with employer matching, PTO, paid holidays, disability coverage, and life insurance.
What does full-time security pay in San Antonio?+
Full-time security in San Antonio runs $15–$22/hr depending on role and employer. Verified current postings: Sunstates unarmed FT at $17–$19/hr (SimplyHired confirmed, weekly pay); Sunstates armed FT/PT/Flex at $20/hr weekly; Allied Universal FT armed financial institution at $19/hr; Excelsior Defense FT at $17.75–$22.68/hr with benefits; an active FT unarmed post in the 78230 zip code (Medical Center area) Monday–Friday 11am–7pm at market rates. GardaWorld FT positions start at $15–$18/hr with DailyPay. For comparison, ZipRecruiter's June 2026 data for allied security in San Antonio averages $23.62/hr when all experience levels are included.
What is Excelsior Defense and are they a good employer?+
Excelsior Defense is a San Antonio-based security contractor with a 3.4-star Glassdoor rating that posts FT positions at $17.75–$22.68/hr with an 8-hour shift pattern, background check, drug screening, and health and dental insurance. Their SA postings appear on SimplyHired alongside Allied Universal, Sunstates, and GardaWorld — they're a regional firm active in the San Antonio contracted security market, not a national giant but with competitive pay at the upper mid-range for SA FT security. For candidates who want above-market pay for a non-national firm, Excelsior Defense is worth investigating.
What benefits matter most in SA security employment?+
Weekly pay is the top differentiator cited by security officers choosing between SA employers — Sunstates and GardaWorld's DailyPay both address the financial flexibility that bi-weekly pay doesn't provide. After that: 401k match (Sunstates and GardaWorld both offer employer matching contributions), health insurance quality (large employers like Allied Universal and GardaWorld offer comprehensive packages; smaller firms often offer basic coverage only), paid time off (Sunstates includes PTO and premium holiday pay explicitly), and tuition reimbursement (Sunstates is one of the few SA security employers to offer this — meaningful for officers pursuing licensing upgrades or continuing education). For hospital and state accounts, the institutional benefits (county employment at University Health, state benefits at SASH) can significantly exceed what contracted security firms provide.
What full-time schedule patterns are common in SA security?+
The most common full-time schedules in San Antonio security: 5x8 — five 8-hour shifts per week, standard at commercial and corporate accounts (the FT 78230 Medical Center post is Monday–Friday 11am–7pm). 4x10 — four 10-hour shifts, common at industrial and logistics accounts near Port San Antonio and the Toyota corridor. 3x12 — three 12-hour shifts, standard in hospital security at Methodist and University Health campuses; this gives officers four days off per week but means 12-hour physical shifts. Rotating shifts — many full-time SA security positions require availability across all three shifts, particularly at accounts that need 24/7 coverage; Sunstates specifically notes 'all days including weekends' as available. The Allied Universal financial institution post (Mon–Fri swing 4pm–midnight) is an example of a fixed-shift full-time pattern that allows predictable scheduling.
Overview

San Antonio Full-Time Security: Consistent Demand Across Four Industries

San Antonio's four-pillar economy — military, healthcare, tourism, and manufacturing — creates full-time security demand that doesn't flex seasonally the way event or part-time security does. Hospital security at Methodist, University Health, and Baptist Health runs 24/7/365 with full-time staffing needs that don't change. Toyota's south SA manufacturing plant runs continuous operations. USAA's 286-acre campus needs full-time corporate security year-round. The River Walk hotels don't slow down enough to cut full-time security staff in the off-season.

Sunstates Security has built a meaningful SA presence specifically with full-time hiring — their FT unarmed positions at $17–$19/hr weekly with industry-leading benefits (401k match, medical, dental, vision, tuition reimbursement, holiday pay) represent the most complete full-time benefits package of any contracted security firm consistently active in the SA market. Excelsior Defense's $17.75–$22.68/hr FT range is the highest regularly posted pay range for standard contracted FT security in San Antonio, making them a target for experienced officers seeking maximum hourly compensation.

Overview & Duties
Role Overview

What Full-Time Security Officers Do in San Antonio

Full-time security in San Antonio spans a wide range of account types but shares a common professional profile: consistent attendance, documentation discipline, and the reliability that employers are building stable security programs around rather than filling shift gaps with flex officers. The 78230 Medical Center corridor full-time post — Monday–Friday 11am–7pm, unarmed — represents the corporate/medical adjacent environment: consistent schedule, professional indoor environment, visitor management and access control as the primary functions.

The Allied Universal financial institution full-time post (armed, swing shift, $19/hr) represents the higher-accountability end of SA's FT market — a busy bank front desk environment requiring Level 3, professional presentation, and the ability to manage access, greet employees and visitors, and monitor security systems from the lobby. Full-time armed at financial institutions in San Antonio builds the most transferable credential in the local market, with experience applicable across banking, corporate campus, and government account types.
