      Bad company

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Pay is decent Literally nothing else

      Cons

      Horrible benefits that cost a fortune They target people who follow policies You will be given write-ups for anything you can think of if they don't like you They promote people prop up their egos Warden and both assistant wardens do both of the above Inmates are allowed to do anything they want Unit managers, captains, chief of unit management all encourage you to let inmates do what they want, except when there's an audit...then they'll throw any and all officers under the bus for anything that is wrong. Union president does NOTHING to try to change the way officers are treated and strokes egos to gets better posts than other officers. Everyone is encouraged to tell on anyone else if they do anything 'wrong'. Horrible, toxic environment.
