Pros

Easy apply and Easy Hiring process, Job is good if you are able to multitask effectively.

Cons

Severe low pay for work that is to be performed. CoreCivic is a local, state, or federal contractor so their first priority is to save money. I would not recommend to anyone with previous LE or Corrections experience unless you were a former Warden. The pay is to low to support a family and pay rent, especially in Austin Area. This job is more for a first job type of person barely venturing out into the workforce.

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.
