I am just gonna be real here. There are 3 shifts to chose from in the jail. You are going to start in the jail so do not get your hopes up for a deputy position right out of the gate. You will start as a Detention officer. 

A card- Midnight to 8:00 am.
B card - 8:00 am to 4:00 pm pm.
C card - 4 pm to Midnight. 

A card is good for people who like a little slower pace. The inmates are locked down until around 5 am when they have to go to medical, pill call and then chow. 

B card is the best schedule wise but the you have to deal with a pod full of 100 plus inmates. Bring your lunch and be prepared to do without a smoke for 8 hours cause breaks are out the window on all shifts really. 

C card is good for the single person. You go in a 4 pm and get off at midnight so personal life is non existent. You get a lot of action on c card so if that is up your ally B or C card will suit you just fine. 

A lot of officers here are honest hard working people. You will come in contact with some amazing officers. A lot of the command staff however really needs some work. Not all with stripes but way too many supervisors here want to sit at ops, hide out in the seg units, hide out in the Lieutenants office sucking up to the Lieutenant, ride the clock doing the bare minimum and collect a paycheck There are barely any supervisors who truly care about their officers and back them when they need it. The officers in the pods have absolutely no teeth to pull wit due to the new administration hired in this place. The inmates can almost do whatever they want and I say that without a single ounce of sarcasm. The politics, cliques and favoritism run VERY deep. Especially inside of the jail. If you can handle your pod and keep a pod in line. You can almost bet a pod is where you will stay. Believe me it gets old. The job at times can be stressful but that comes with any position in law enforcement. The opportunities to promote to a deputy or go to a different spot within the sheriffs office are there but no matter what anyone in this agency tells you. You have to fight tooth and nail to get there. I have seen way too much favoritism during my time here so be prepared for it. I am not trying to sway anyone away from working here because believe me they need all the help they can get. But I am also not going to sugar coat anything either.

I have been in the IT field for over 13 years, Worked is a few different IT positions at different company/Government Jobs and I can say that when I started working at Tulsa county It was a great place to work. With very knowledgeable Management with lots of experience. After 7 or 8 years the director of IT was replaced and then more Manager were replaced or made to quit. This was the start of the hostile work environment were if you didn't get buddy buddy with the managers and didn't questioned their decisions with your own suggestions and played stupid you were left alone. But if you did get ready to feel the pain with lots of write ups no verbals. Singling you out from the rest of the team to get you for anything and everything. Work load horribly unbalanced manager favoritism some people have way less work and more free time to sit in the managers office and BS all day, while the rest of the team is working there butts off. I can't stress this enough DO NOT APPLY FOR IT JOBS WITH THE COUNTY.

Great to place to work as a IT professional if you don't disagree with the changing and evolving IT department and their new environment which includes the following, working in tiny open cubicles without any privacy like you see in call centers, micromanagement, constantly monitored, clock in and out every time you leave your desk which is displayed on a large TV on the wall for everyone to see, and enjoy write-ups for any infraction, and forget about any internet even during downtime and avoid cell phone usage, that is frowned upon here. Great people with work with, but socializing too much is also unacceptable, so you will need to stay busy, it is all about customer service and not you. Also you will enjoy the great neck exercises of constantly looking over both shoulders on a regular basis. Definitely a place to work if you enjoy short term employment.

the pressroom under administration services is managed so poorly that it is a constant revolving door of good workers because management will bully people until they leave for simply not liking their “vibes” as they have said to me. I’ve watched new people come in and a WEEKS later still no manager has taught them anything in order to make them feel unwelcome. Then turn around and erupt onto people for not doing something right, even though no one ever trained them.

And if you try to voice concern about any of it they will quite literally create fake scenarios to make you look bad, or not tell you how to get overtime hours and trick you to work for free. most unprofessional management I have ever experienced. 

I was a lifeguard for 4 years, and the last year I was a lifeguard and pool manager. A typical day was about about 9 hours long and it included cleaning, making sure the pool chemicals were correct, watching patrons swim and, and performing first aid. I learned how to be patient and how to stay calm under pressure at this job. As manager I learned that organization is key and that communication is very important. My coworkers were fun people and that made the hot summer days more enjoyable. The hardest part of the job was making sure the pool stayed clean throughout the day. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing kids improve in their swimming skills.

If the management liked you, they would leave you alone, if you ever questioned their decisions, you were put on their bad boy list, once on their "Hit list" they would stay on you and try to find any small infraction to write you up. Constantly singling you out from the pack to get you for anything and everything. Worst place in town to work. It used to be a great place to work, they really used to care about their employees. New management took over a little over  and they don,t give a hoot about anyone. If you have worked there longer than them, They are out to get you. Many older employees retired early before the new management got they. Some smart ones transferred out. Very, very toxic place to work. Ask anyone working there.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people and the hours and the knowledge it gives me

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Well I guess it would be I am a dump truck driver and the people on the road do not pay attention nor do they care about other people's safety

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Well I guess it would be the camaraderie or the people that I work for and with are very nice people and everyone likes everyone up there I don't think there's no dislikes of people up there

The leadership is worse than incompetent - managers that demean employees, favoritism and a fear culture are what day to day life looks like. There is never a compliment given that doesn't have an accompanying criticism. There is no development except for training developed in house. Management by sarcasm and bullying is par for the course. The pay is low, the insurance is nothing special and you are expected to work 50 hours a week. Turnover rate for every position is high except for the ones in leadership.  That never changes and why everybody else leave.

I love working at Tulsa County and am thankful to work at a place with great benefits and job security. The pension plan is amazing - and you're vested after just 5 years! So that means when you are ready to draw your pension you'll get paid a percentage of your salary for the rest of your life! The longer you stay, the more the percentage goes up! That's hard to find these days. Everyone is very friendly here at the County too. I feel like a part of a family.

When I first started working at Tulsa County the work culture was very good, people worked well together and helped each other out when needed.  Several years later upper management staff changed and the culture around the office changed.  People no longer help each other out, upper management does not seem to care about employee's, turnover is high and employees are not motivate.  Fortunately the county officials are elected positions and the culture can change when the officials change.
