      Pros

      Great pay, learn a lot about yourself, good experience/step in the door for any Law enforcement path. Weapons qualification Cpr training

      Cons

      Very poor training program(COVID-19 has affected all hands on aspects of learning). You get “thrown into the fire” very frequently, which makes it a negative experience for many new Correctional Officers. Days off are random and not guaranteed. Current staffs work ethic is questionable which directly affects everyone that is new or working with those particular people everyday.

      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.
