      Pros

      Good people in the field

      Cons

      The Facility Support Center is a joke. The reason they are called "support" is because we support them. Without us none of the clowns would be getting paid all the big salaries and bonus to stick it to those in the field. They take and take from those in the field while the whole time laughing all the way to the bank. Not sure who's over HR In This company but they need to go.

      Pros

      The way the schedule works you basically work only half the year

      Cons

      No pay raises and the insurance steadily increases which really means your pay decreases. They make you feel like you're a problem anytime you need to go to the restroom because that means someone will have to relieve you. You have to get relief to go to the restroom, you work 12 hrs and only get one 20 min break, the staff is very unprofessional with the way they speak to each other and the detainees (verbally abusive), they don't give the detainees all the things they're supposed to have, for example, clothes. They try to intimidate you into verbally abusing the detainees. The kitchen is nasty with roaches and flies.
