Thanks for your feedback. As a 24/7 operation we are required to man posts at all times, as a Correctional Officer you held a critical position that tended to the care and protection of the inmates in our care. Our mission often requires extra hours of work and the mandated off days are intended to provide work/life balance.

Pros

CC Uses cutting-edge Technologies, which is good experience for resume building; many of the Teams are collaborative; interesting work and you can believe in company goals.

Cons

Director and Manager level mgmt at corporate here do not provide guidance on projects. There is a lot of turnover on data projects because new employees are thrown into the deep end and then just blamed if results are not as expected. CC really needs more hands-on project oversight. There are also behavioral and anger issues with a couple long-time ppl as well, and this is both exhausting and (sometimes) outright humiliating. They need to treat new people better.
