Pros

Working with inmates, sometimes people think when they hear you work in a prison that the inmates are bad no it’s the workers from spectrum.

Cons

The PTO is awful, management has no idea what they are doing and play favoritism, and this company showed no support during the cornavirus and made stuff choose their job or child, the turn over rate is by far the worst I have ever seen l, by 3 months you’ll be considered a senior staff because most likely the person who has trained you has quit. Every other month a staff is leaving, I’m convinced the only time one that makes a decent salary is Earl, if the contractors and recipients of their services knew how bad the employees get treated I’m sure they would refrain from their services, make sure you document everything to protect yourself because when an audit comes mangement will stab you in the back. If there a lock down after your shift you will not be paid. If you reach out to the CEO with concerns he will literally not be responsive but acts as if he’s so supportive and can’t respond to his employees shows a lot. Payroll messes up constantly especially when you get a raise or bonus stay on top of them or they will not increase it.

Pros

Working directly with inmates and passionate coworkers.

Cons

Spectrum is a horrible company to work for. They do not value their employees, growth, or take any feedback to improve the company or structure of programming in the prisons. The only people to grow in the company are those who never questioned leadership or cared to implement change - essentially 'puppets' that were easily groomed. When you have worked with several (over 20) different coworkers and all of them quit and left on bad terms, that's how you know there is an internal issue. Spectrum does not care about its employees and will do whatever they can to get rid of you the moment you start questioning their techniques. At one point, I was forced to do work in Spanish when I was not hired as a Spanish-speaking employee nor was Spanish my first language (I only spoke it conversationally) but they took advantage of it and told me if I did not comply, it would be insubordination. I was a Clinical Supervisor being ased to do my role and the role of a counselor for $1/hour more. After years of giving this company my all because I was truly passionate about helping inmates, I finally broke down due to zero support from management after seeking assistance several times with the Spanish counseling work (that was NOT my job). I left on my lunch break and never came back. My supervisor never checked in on me, nor did her supervisor. Truly an awful place, led by awful people who only care about profit and keeping the department of corrections happy.
