Pros

Ability to help others and make an environment safe

Cons

Upper management does not care about the safety of their employees or the inmates. They only care about bodies to fill the uniforms. A lot of times you’re working in units alone a unit consist of 3 to 4 pods with 128 inmates in each pod. Cell doors are rigged to not lock. These are never fixed, and they never will be. Nonviolent inmates are put with violent inmates and COs are crooked as well as upper management. There is constantly drugs being brought in and inmates are constantly overdosing, and sometimes dying. I witnessed first hand in inmate get framed for bringing drugs in this inmate only had two months left on his sentence and was a trustee.

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.
