A horrible place to work!
Lnv (per diem) (Former Employee), El centro, ca – February 19, 2013
Pros: no prons. just a horrible place to work!
Cons: no breaks. short lunches. hard tobrequest day off even with plenty of time notice
This is a horrible small company that doesnt care about their employees. Management is super poor. They are always constantly struggling to keep a contract with the government year to year that they do they want with the employees like for example had been working there for 4years then they decrease our pay to 4dollars less an hour. Not caring the time – more... we had been in the company in order to keep the contract. NO JOB SECURITY. Positions get eliminated with no notice. No matter how good you do your job, they are always looking for something to make you look bad. If you call to inquire about amything or you need help, you never get answers. Not a good place to work for. Very, very, very, stressful. You get written up for no reason all the time. Just Run while you can. The job is NOT worth it. Seen so many people quit within 1yr. I was a per diem employee and they did not respect my schedule. They often wanted to schedule me as a full time, and when I would remind them of my contract they would get mad and just look fir a little excuse to want to write me up. I ended up quitting and out was the BEST decision ever. I wish I would have done sooner. – less

BEWARE of STGi Shady Business Practice and Poor Management
Wellness (Former Employee), Washington, DC – February 6, 2013
Pros: great learning experience and exposure to ground breaking projects.
Cons: poor leadership, support from management, harassing working environment
Overall there are some great people that are a part of this organization, and in leadership roles. Like any growing to large company there are a core of employees who really sustain STGi. That being said there are even more employees who tear it down given their poor work ethic, subordinate support, and lack of general management and business acumen. – more... Given the overall services they provide it's quite easy to say that they rip the Federal Government off. I've know of situations where people where unfavorably squeezed out of their positions or given huge pay cuts without warning. I know that long term unless there are some changes in senior personnel and general human decency within STGi that they will crumble. There were countless times where I would work through holidays, go to other sites for coverage, while managing my own facility only to receive no thank you or proper financial support to provide those services. We do what we do because we love what we do, yet they make it very hard to show up to work on a daily basis. I believe through expansion they got greedy and lost their respect and decency. Overall I am EXTREMELY HAPPY to no longer be in an environment which was so unhealthy for me. – less

They don't care about you
Administrative position (Former Employee), USA – January 11, 2013
Pros: "some" of the people
Cons: horrific company that could care less about their staff
This company could care LESS about their staff. No raises in over 5 years, PHENOMENAL pay cuts. Expensive health insurance. Every chance they get to treat their field staff like garbage, they will. They tell you when you complain about something to be greatful you have a job and if you don't back off they will fire you. Different rules for different – more... people, lots of favoritism. I have never worked for a company who doesn't appreciate their staff like this company. As long as the "head honchos" have their expensive jewelry and cars, they don't care that you can no longer afford to feed your family. I think the government should reconsider the useless company they awarded to fulfill their contract with. The media would have a field day with the stories that the staff could give. – less

A+ for STGi!
Program Manager (Current Employee), VA – October 24, 2012
Pros: excellent benefits program // great communication // new health & wellness programs for employees
One of the best elements of working at STGi is the people. Everyone, from staff on sites to staff at headquarters, is so friendly, polite, motivated, and smart. I've really enjoyed the opportunity to work with a wide variety of STGi employees on different projects - and they're great about recognizing people! STGi regularly recognizes staff at headquarters – more... and on different contracts for a job well done, which doesn’t always happen at other companies. Overall, I think STGi is really focused on taking care of its employees. I have been here for a while and there have been a few bad apples here and there (that happens at every company – don’t sweat it), but the vast majority of people I’ve worked with have been a joy to collaborate with and work with on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Another aspect I love about my job is the general feeling that everyone belongs to this big STGi family. The staff at headquarters does a good job of disseminating information – they’ve got a company newsletter and have sent out other newsletters for smaller groups of staff with similar interests – and they seem to be really focused on communicating information, which I think could be difficult for a company with employees in 38 states, but they’ve always done a good job. Last pro is the CEO - she is awesome. She regularly visits employees all over the country, which makes people feel valued and special. And usually they bring lunch, which everyone loves! I’ve been really happy working at STGi. – less

Beware of STG International
RN (Current Employee), US – September 11, 2012
Pros: unfortunately, nothing.
#1) As of two weeks ago every single STG employee received a pay cut. STG stated the pay cut was evenly across the board meaning no matter what degree you had or years of experience a pay cut would be issued. Psychologists who had 20 years of experience were dropped down to an entry level pay grade.
#2) The benefits are good but extremely expensive. – more... For example, one RN I work pays $1200/month for health benefits for herself, son and daughter.
#3) STG does NOT back up their contract employees. They are ready to fire anyone on the spot, no questions asked.
#4) STG lacks knowledge of state laws/labor codes.
#5) Our schedules consists of rotating to day, evening and night shift every month. And plenty of times we have had all three shifts scheduled in one month. And worse, we have been scheduled evening shift (3pm-1130pm) and had to return to work for day shift (7am-3:30pm) the next day. Also, you can request to work evening or night shift but not day shift.
#5) They recently implemented for all contract employees to print out their own timesheets the day the pay period ends and to have our supervisor sign them AND then fax them over to STG by 2pm EST. They do not care if the pay period ends on a weekend and if you have the weekend off that you will have to go entirely out of your way to go into work just to complete your timesheet. What if you're out of town or on vacation? Well I guess you don't get paid. It's a new process so we will see how it goes.
#6) STG has RARELY given raises. I work with nurses who have not had a pay raise in 5 years.
Overall, they are an arrogant, greedy company that knows how awful they treat their employees but simply do not care. – less

ability to learn good job skills
Nurse Coordinator (Former Employee), Los Fresnos, TX – August 6, 2012
Pros: alot of opportunity to be independent
Cons: getting ready to evacuate station
A typical work day starts with going threw alot of metal doors to get to your work place. you get last nights report of patients, get your list of patients to be seen for sick call, new admits, lab works, and give list to guards to bring patients in. if in clinic check pill list and start to do rounds. if on pill line start to dispence meds to proper – more... containeers. helped each nurse to get ready for day. the most difficult part was going to pods with out escort. the most enjoyable part was helping alot of people get good medical help for the first time. – less

mgarcia – August 23, 2012

I enjoyed attending detainees medical needs. The insurance is expensive, but I chose to purchase it outside of employment. Had some interesting days, but for the most part, it was easy work, alot, but easy. I hope to work for them again one day. Management was okay most of the time. Do what you're suppose to do and you'll avoid trouble. Our previous Supervisors ROCKED! Current management is okay.

The Company
PROGRAM MANAGER (Former Employee), Ann Arbor, MI – July 23, 2012
Pros: working environment is great
Cons: exit out of the company when losing a contract is the worse.
Company was nice to work for, but you are just a worker. When a contract is up or lost don't expect the company to try and find you a job within the company, you are on your own.
The benefits and pay are above the normal, management is fair and good to work with. Overall experience is above average.

Worst Place to work
LVN (Former Employee), El Paso, TX – June 30, 2012
Pros: a few cents extra hourly
Cons: no support, no manager to help, medical insurance is more expensive than buying your own, the treatment that any employee gets is the worst part, in an indirect way they tell you "you are nobody and nothing" unless you are ready to kiss my behind
STG International is hiring people to work and get an hourly cut from each employee's wages from Federal Government. Their HR is a joke and works when there is nothing to do. Workers' Comp is hidden tips that never get anywhere. No Managerial skills. Their mentality is like Communists’ they establish fear by Lay off some of employees and next time come – more... to thereat the others if they say any word about raise, promotion, education, compensation, or harassments, they will be next to lay off. They do not support any of their employees at all at any time. HR takes complains very well and write a note that is not a dispute that deserves to take. Anybody out there please do not fall to the trap that some of us here went. This company is full of false promises – less

Worst Place to work
LVN (Former Employee), El Paso, Texas – June 30, 2012
Pros: 0.50 cent more than others per month
Cons: 1-managers are bullies at high school. their method of management is by threat to fire employees.
Do not work for this company. STG International never supports employees in a dispute and never help. The only thing they are good at is to find a connection to renew their contract. Full of empty promises. Their medical insurance is more expensive than any insurance out there. Never train personnel and no promotion or raise. I would absolutely not – more... recommend working for this company. They will use you as long as you let them. I don't consider this company as a good workplace. HR DOES NOTHING TO RESOLVE ISSUES. Discrimination and Favoritism runs every decision made. If u are willing to kiss a little behind you'll go far with this company but... – less

Beware
RN (Former Employee), Alexandria, VA – June 29, 2012
Pros: the pay is good, but not enough to outweigh the negatives.
Cons: little pto, no administrative support, no advancement, $$$ insurance
STG is all about money and not employees even though the employees are who makes it possible to make money. There is absolutly no room for advancement, the benefits are very expensive and the company does not pay any money towards insurance costs, PTO is limited, the schedule is not flexible at all, and the feedback when complaints are made is "We encourage – more... to find work elsewhere if your not satisified with our company." And thats what I did. – less

Great place to work however only temporary.
Paralegal (Former Employee), Cleveland, OH – June 26, 2012
Pros: great compensation, benefits, predictable schedule.
Cons: job security, tension with federal employees, very little room for advancement.
Being a government contractor has many pros and cons. The pros are great compensation and benefits. The set 40 hour a week schedule is also nice for a good predictable work life balance. The main con is your employment is entirely at the mercy of the government contract process. If the agency decides there is no longer a need, then the job is terminated – more... sometimes with little or no notice. Also there is high levels of tension with Federal employees who view contractors as a threat to their employment and in some ways inferior. Workers should enter this arrangement with their eyes wide open to the realities of this type of position, something many my colleagues unfortunately did not do. Overall I enjoyed my experience at STG and would be happy to work there again in the future if the situation was conveniant and favorable to me. – less
