Pros

Pay is good if your willing to work on your days off, unlimited overtime.

Cons

Unsafe environment. Always short staff. People quit every day because of the unsafe work environment. Every shift has less and less correction officers and most times 1 officer to 300 inmates. Do not fall for the hiring trap, run! Health insurance is basically non existent, very expensive and does not cover much or anything.

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.
