Typical day: clock on sight attend briefing, collect equipment, go to post, 15 min break paid, 30 minute-1 hour unpaid depending on position, 15 min break paid, debriefing, clock out. 
What I learned: all contract company policies, all buildings routes, emergency procedures. 
Management: CEOs are great at least one of them will attend your orientation. Most supervisors are great. Leads are a toss in the dark. Some good some not so good. 
Hardest part of the job: it’s really not that hard just do your job. 
Most enjoyable part: personally being alone doing my own work. Occasionally medical, or glass breaks etc. it’s a very job job, you show up you get paid very simple. 
Promotions: near non existent, during the start of their uniform contract it was said people would move up quickly, lots of opportunities to move up. “We only higher in house” all of the leads were hired out of house. There are little to no supervisor positions or opportunities to get them. Unless one gets fired. Which happens once in a blue moon. Want to be a lead? Good luck experience here only gets you so far. If you don’t have military background or at least a bachelor’s degree don’t set your goals too high in this company. Highest I’ve seen in specialist reach is supervisor. Then they tell you you’re doing great and you’re next in line for a lead position and then they outsource it. keep you hanging by a thread so to speak
Pay: don’t expect a raise. Yes pay is competitive for the area but it’s just entry level competitive. There hasn’t been raises in a year and a half. They took away swing and grave differentials and now every shift gets the same pay even though grave shift is considered carcinogenic and hazardous. Yes it’s a choice for most to work grave but also they wouldn’t have a grave shift if people didn’t choose to put their health at risk either. differential could be considered hazard pay for putting your healthy in jeopardy. There is a bonus every Christmas. It’s about 1 checks worth or less maybe a couple hundred more.
Hours: consistent you are guaranteed 40 hours. Sometimes you can hold over. But it’s rare. Don’t expect more than 40 hours. Time and a half holidays. No paid holidays off. You either work and get time and a half or you get nothing. 
Benefits: health, dental, vision, honestly not terrible, it’s fine. Blue cross blue shield of Alabama, and I don’t remember the dental. 401k maximum matching. 
Mis: only 1 contract in California so it’s not like oh can transfer to a different contract and move up, it’s very small. Turn over rate is massive if 1,000 people have been hired in the past 2 years only 100?150 still here. 

Avoid Trident Security Solutions at All Costs  Trident Security Solutions is the embodiment of everything wrong with the private security industry. The company operates with a complete lack of leadership, failing to provide clear direction, accountability, or any semblance of professional guidance. Leadership is either absent, unresponsive, or incapable of making decisions that benefit their employees or clients.  Their commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is nonexistent. There’s no real effort to foster an inclusive workplace, and any discussions about diversity feel like empty gestures. Instead of supporting a well-rounded, diverse workforce, they maintain a culture that disregards different perspectives and experiences.  Employee support is abysmal—training is minimal, resources are scarce, and management does not care about the well-being of their staff. If you need assistance, don’t expect a response. If you raise concerns, expect them to be ignored.  Perhaps worst of all, there is no empathy within this organization. Employees are treated as disposable, with little to no regard for their mental or physical well-being. The toxic work culture makes it clear that Trident Security Solutions cares more about cutting corners than ensuring a safe and ethical work environment.  Simply put, this company should not be in the security industry. If you value professionalism, leadership, and basic human decency, look elsewhere.

Worked for this company around 3 years. Started with them in California and moved for them to Colorado when they launched there February this year and led the state's operations for 8 months in CO.

Firstly the one positive; the company offers solid pay due to their main client having deep pockets and everyone in company receives a bonus check at Christmas as well. 

If you are just wanting a job without much care about the culture etc then this will be a decent place for you to set up shop.

However, their company culture is a complete lie and they do not care about their employees whatsoever regardless of what they will say. They will work you to the ground without a second thought and burn you out doing well above your job duties and if you try to stay within your job description and push back against them piling duties on, we will say they don't like that and they maintain the expectation that job duties are ever evolving. 

It is a horrible and fake overall company at the upper levels filled with false promises and indifferent leadership who do not live up to their titles. 

Very disappointing company that is well on its way to turn into another bloated dime a dozen security company. 


Working at Trident Security Solutions is like being part of the best family reunion—except you actually like everyone.  From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by people who are not only insanely good at what they do but also genuinely care about your success (and will share their snacks, which is equally important).

The culture here is unmatched. Trident believes in honesty and integrity, which means there’s no corporate double-speak or awkward silences when someone asks a tough question in a meeting. Everyone is straightforward, approachable, and hustling. Yes, you’ll work hard, but if you’ve got the drive, the rewards are worth it. Recognition, shout-outs, and high-fives are just part of the DNA here.

If you love being part of a team that values grit, honesty, and a good laugh in the breakroom, Trident is where it’s at. Just be warned: you’ll start thinking of your colleagues as family.

10/10 recommend—especially if you’re ready to work hard, collaborate, and be rewarded for your hustle. Also, don’t be surprised if you begin to genuinely enjoy the start of your work week. Trident has that effect on people.


Overall the company acts above board, but their disciplinary track is not true to what they preach. They can jump the ladder to final before termination without proper reasoning. It is an at will state and they take advantage of that. Some people get terminated without proper reasoning or explanation and no indication at all. There is no respect for people that invest all of themselves to job duties and the company entirely ignores the importance of retention. Don’t value longevity and management upon changes do not respect anything set forth prior. Can’t trust anything said verbally, recommended to get everything documented to protect yourself. They overlook the good deeds and effort is irrelevant to this company. They prefer to cycle through new to people and get rid of people because they felt like it. The company is based on what makes them more money versus caring about their employees. They search for anything to tear people down rather than building their team and do not care about a healthy working environment. Not terrible pay but can’t trust longevity and the support for growth and success are non existent. They do not do what they say. 

Management in Las Vegas, NV does not care about their employees and more about the money! They will tell you anything you want to hear and will hire under false pretenses. If you ask questions and call them out on things, they will get defensive, deflect and turn it around to make you feel like you're the problem. 

You will stand there for 12+ hours a day, expected not to talk to anyone. They don't have radios so when you have to forward important information, you're expected to walk to your counter parts across the store. Two of the stores are large, plenty of time for someone to steal. You are COMPLETELY hands off by the way. There is clearly favoritism at hand in this area. I'm sure the company has great intentions but the management in the Vegas area does not. If you have a problem with the management, they will do anything they possibly can to sweep it under the rug. They will definitely pretend to have your back.  STAY FAR AWAY!!!!

I’ve worked for several security companies in this portfolio, and Trident Security Solutions is by far the best. While it may be a smaller company, it is well-structured, professional, and genuinely cares about its employees. From the CEO to upper management, the leadership team is incredibly supportive and invested in helping you succeed and grow.

What sets Trident apart is the strong emphasis on excellence and teamwork. You’re not just a number here—you’re valued, respected, and given opportunities to develop your skills. If you’re looking for a security company that prioritizes professionalism, structure, and employee growth, I highly recommend Trident Security Solutions.

Kept changing companies back to back every yr which affected overall work experience and also hiring unqualified people for Supervisor positions who never even had prior security experience. A lot of the new hire supervisors used their position to send people home for the day because they didn’t like their performance on site or actually get people fired. I have first hand experienced that for myself dealing with this sort of toxicity in the workplace and they also liked to micromanage. Waste of your overall quality time for 8 hrs per day dealing with these type of individuals 

One (1) raise in 1 years time. No further pay increases will be given...
Expensive, inadequate medical coverage...
Long hours, low pay, 0 opportunities for advancement / growth...
