Supportive colleagues, but disconnected management decisions - Correctional Officer State of Iowa Employee Review

Great pay and great benefits.

Vacation is low to start.

Sick and vacation time is great. IPERS is great, if you stay long enough to become vested

Very small raises. Rarely promote within the state. If you do promote from within, your pay is not nearly as high as someone who would get hired off the street for the same job, as you cannot negotiate.
