TRICORPS SECURITY

The average workday with Tricorp will have a mixture of confidence and confusion, blind confidence from the uninvolved supervisors and management that will tell you where to go and what to do but provide no training, explanation or thought as to how you and your team will get the objective done, just to get it done. Then confusion sets in on proper procedure, knowledge of surrounding infrastructure, and who even your boss is and who you should go to in case things go wrong. When they do go wrong you can expect the lack of coverage and incapable leadership to side with whoever they like more or whoever can point out an easy scapegoat for them to blame, rather than getting better themselves. It would be a good job without too much to worry about but when the drunkards and 1 week hires make the job hard for you, you will face blame. They will provide you the bare basics of the job (faulty and/or cheap equipment of course) and no matter how long you stand out in the cold or the heat, they could just find another worker who doesn't care or isn't smart enough to worry about their own back as there are small rare gaps of danger in the environments you guard . This is a simple pick-up and put-down kind of job and I wouldn't rack my brain over any of the "managements" problems. Get your pay, do your job and leave when something better comes around. I figure the agency is likely to crumble after an eventual blunder.

I overall had good schedulers , though I got one who was buddy buddy with the other guard I’d relieve and acted very unprofessional and removed me from a rig for no legit reason and spread false rumors to make an excuse for why I was removed from a location . Also the insurance was not the greatest . Lots of my checks went to gas for work & food . Also very inconvenient at times i always had reliefs who’d arrive hours late or wouldn’t arrive at all so if be stuck half way through the next shift if no one was available to cover . In the winter if relief couldn’t make it you’d be stuck out at location till they could figure something out . If you got stuck in the caliche or mud looking for location you’d have to call someone to help you out . Sometimes it would be freezing out and the light tower would turn off and so you’d be in the shack with no electricity . I would get offered help from the workers and I was told by my employer to not ask them for help to wait until they could get someone out there to look at the generator. Overall very inconvenient at times . But a very simple job to make more money than fast food . 

I loved my job at Tricorps and I didn't want to leave... due to change in supervisors the demeanor and moral went down and I could no longer stay. Tricorp is one of the few companies that actually reinforce the meaning family oriented. I never had any issues requesting time off for visiting family and what not. I love my boss (I will not put his name here.) He worked with me on my grandma's funeral with how quickly/suddenly it happened and I will be forever thankful for that. The reason why I left is moral went downhill very quick and no time for adjustment when it came to changes and transition periods to adapt with how quickly the changes were brought to everyone's attention, ( like at mist 48hr notice to completely changing everything up.). I do recommend Tricorp security to anyone and everyone because of how much I loved my job. Maybe and or hopefully Tricorp will be a better choice for you and I hope that it is, but sadly my time with this amazing company is over for now. I do hope that I can go back one day and hopefully I will love working there once again. Just not right now. 

Run fast, they don't care, you can do them a great job for two years and nothing changes on your end but all the sudden they change scheduler and she say she is not working you because of your availability when your availability hasn't changed in two years. But after two years you are sitting at home not getting a pay check because their buddy that has 2 months with the company has to work, not in any good business.  A company request you because they like the way you work, WRONG that means they move you fast(really great business concept) They take no pride in an employee that works, that's why they are always looking for people. You pay for security license, uniforms, your fuel, wear and tear on your car and if you take out everything you are paying for get a job closer to home making minimum wage  would probably pay you more. Horribly run company, it is a great concept but they have no company management. So if you have 500 bucks in your pocket go ahead if you are looking for a job look else where. Most people stay with this company less than 3 months does this tell you anything. Work 12 hr shifts drive 2 hours to get there 2 hours home they only pay 12 bad deal. Run away fast

 The pay is good, that's it. Pay schedule is abnormal, supposed to be the 15th and last day of the month. If the last day of the month falls on a non bank day(holiday or Sunday) you can get paid on that following Monday or the next time the bank is open, leads to a situation where you can go 3 full weeks without a check.
 Management is lackluster at best, how you look is more important than how you work or how knowledgeable you are. Outside managers and supervisors are brought in rather than promoting from inside, leads to a lot of workplace drama, start's at the top and trickles down to creates distrust in the company.
 The uniforms are varied and there are too many. At a post you can have up to 4 different uniforms for different positions there. Make sure to ask about the uniform if you're going to interview, may change your mind on a specific post.
 Tricorps feels the same as all other security companies, same mindset different name.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management needs to more hands on and not a phone call and or 2-3 hours away if not more . No reassurance of saftey as a lvl 2  as well as no per diem,for fuel . Lvl 3 is worked like a dog , driving lease to lease ,luckily in a marked unit provided by them . Only plus . If you like working long hours and driving  with  little contact this is the job for you . 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being the only one on site and having to wait on someone to relieve you after at 12 hr shift ,then having  a minimum of at least an hour drive time to and then back - drive time 2,3,4 hrs more with no gas pay as unarmed . As they work on oil field leases .

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Oil field security - not really a culture,show up ,sit there ,or show up drive around and leave … 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Boring af and hot  . Bring a butt cushion and a wifi booster

Management was fair and the job was easy. I worked security for oil and gas well pads and coordinated traffic for well pads. Most people in the O and G industry, including other guards, were good people, some were jerks and some didn't want to follow the rules. That's what the incident reports are for. One particular guard I worked with was a real drama queen, but those types are anywhere you go. Although the job was easy, (some say boring), I think there should have been more training on traffic control. We were thrown right into it and had to learn it on the fly. Overall, I enjoyed working for TriCorps. I only chose to leave because of the oil and gas slowdown and the work has disappeared in my area.

PROS:The pay is a lot better than most security companies, and more professional than most that I've encountered. 

CONS: There are a LOT of officers you get stuck with that are a liability. Certain managers (not all) just use you to make money on a contract with no direction at times..they don't care if the site is horrendous/dangerous/puts you at risk legally . 

Corporate security is a "good 'ol boy system at the main bldgs, and the personnel/employees look down on you even if you have the same level of education or MORE experience. Most lower level shift Sups there have no actual military/LE experience (that I've encountered) and act overly high speed to compensate that void; they act as if they are guarding Ft. Knox..literally and overreact about a homeless man walking down the sidewalk 😂. 

I only worked a year under this company. I liked how friendly the management was at the HQ in OKC. They were extremely helpful in assisting me to get a CLEET certification, although I was not successful on my part due to concerns of being armed. The only issue was our in-house manager at the casino was not the best. He only held a couple meetings in the year I worked with him. Security relied on shift supervisors to resolve conflicts or issues regarding policy. He wasn't terrible but he did not communicate well with us as a team. All-in-all was very happy with the way this employer conducted business on their end.

Working with all employees has been the best and fun and very helpful. The whole title it’s self in what they don’t tolerate on the job and respect for one another equal opportunity for their employees has been the worst in disrespect and speaking out no cares to actually look into anything but being so dishonest to lie to employees and to who ever they provide the services to its such horrible way management treat their employees unfair, not equal and sad that’s there’s not trust and abuse their title to their benefit and then being so dishonest to make them self look right. Company with such dishonesty to what they really provide in their services is not what I wanna be known part of towards anyone it’s wrong
