      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.

      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.
