Forbes America’s Best Large Employers 2026 - Sunstates Security

Sunstates Security Named Among America’s Best Large Employers 2026

Sunstates Security is proud to announce that we have been recognized on the Forbes America’s Best Large Employers 2026 list. This prominent ranking, conducted in partnership with market research firm Statista, is based on an independent survey of over 160,000 employees across the United States. Participants were asked to anonymously rate their willingness to recommend their employer to others and evaluate their company based on criteria such as compensation, work environment, and opportunities for advancement.

This recognition follows the recent announcement of Sunstates being named one of Forbes’ Dream Employers for 2026. As a distinction awarded to only 500 companies nationwide, this further solidifies our position as an elite employer of choice within the security industry.

The Sunstates Difference

For Sunstates, this achievement is a validation of our “People-First” philosophy. In an industry where service quality is defined entirely by the people providing it, we recognize that our frontline professionals and management teams are the true drivers behind our success. Ranking as a Best Large Employer confirms that our efforts to create an engaging and rewarding environment are resonating with the heart of our company, our people.

“This award is a testament to the hard work, ingenuity, and exemplary leadership within the Sunstates organization,” says CEO Denis Kelly. “By prioritizing the well-being and professional development of our team, we have reinforced our position as a national leader while staying true to the values that define us.”
