      Pros

      Working for a company such as CoreCivic (or any state or other privately run institution), one must consider the whole picture before embarking forward. On the things that you could benefit from are the opportunity to work alongside many different walks of life, for example, overseeing as a guard many different nationalities/cultures/religious (non-religious) people, developing an interest in world languages, understanding and respect for a diverse group of people, and deeper appreciation for life. Let me not forget to mention the comradery with other guards.

      Cons

      On the other hand, correctional institutions have had a long and troubling history with the following: a shortage of staff, mandatory overtime, guards overseeing large groups of inmates/detainees, and the like.

      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.
