Pros

If I could leave no stars I would. Frankly other than training off site there are no redeeming qualities

Cons

LOW pay, poor training and hostile work environment. It is dog eat dog work environment with the majority of people lasting 30 days in the positions. Inmates are treated badly as are the staff. They are pitted against each other and encouraged to beat each other down emotionally. A culture of hostility is encouraged. Don't expect time off and expect all vacation to be refused. More contracted employees work in the facility than local hires. They want you to believe they are there to help, however they are building defense against anything unfavorable anyone might present that is unfavorable after that people are suddenly dismissed. Watch your back here. I state only my experience while employed and quit due to the environment and people. They are not helpful or willing to help make new employees transition easily into a stressful and dangerous environment.

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.
