Pros

Decent pay, thats literally it

Cons

surrounded by the worst of the worst constantly every day your working, and im not talking about the inmates. almost every single person there has a robocop mentality and they let you know it. on top of being the worst workplace environment ive ever experienced half of them are corrupt and take contraband into the prison for the inmates which is why i ultimately left. i would never suggest anyone to work there.

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.
