Pros

Good pay due to federal contract. Fairly simple, straightforward job.

Cons

No affordable benefits and decisions are made to better the company and not made in the employee's interests. Lay offs with one week notice, excuses and general lack of concern for employees. Let detainee population run the facility.

Pros

You're able to learn a lot about what the job offers. Always something new, which is good for the position.

Cons

A lot of the things that needed to be fixed were beyond your control, and working with corporates, sometimes you have to fight for what you want.
