      Pros

      One of largest for-profit prison companies in North America. Emphasis is on for-profit margin.

      Cons

      Salaries for correctional officers and support staff are too-low for the dangerous environment and long hours that are expected. Be aware also that this company does a 'bait-and-switch' technique by luring staff in from other locations with an incentive and relocation bonus. Six months or less, the new employee is terminated and loses his or her incentive and relocation bonus from their final check.

      Thank you for your feedback. We do not use the technique you describe to bring personnel to a facility and then terminate them. If your relocation bonus and incentive were reclaimed you either left voluntarily before completing the one year relocation agreement or were terminated for cause.
