Pros

Decent pay A few people who actually are interested in doing their job.

Cons

Do not support Correctional Officers When inmates push officers, threaten to kill them, or do sexual or obscene acts to female officers, they are not put in a higher level prison and instead are left on the compound to continue doing it. No programs to keep inmates busy. They promote laziness and favoritism. They tell us that we'll get written up if we follow policies and the union that we pay for does nothing. Because the prison is run this way, we do not have enough staff and they force everyone to do overtime. 12-16 hour work days. Bad benefits that we pay high rates for.

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.
