Good Local Management, Horrible Regional & Corporate Management - Security Officer The GEO Group Employee Review

Corporate. Both corporate and regional management prop-up corrupt staff and this hurts the rest of local staff. We are constantly told to ignore laws, with all audits being jokes that we always pass even when we shouldn't. Many major issues are pushed under the table. Insider trading with major stockholders. Protests that local staff have to deal with. Being an officer can be rewarding only in terms of the overtime, but some people work constant 16 hour shifts and get fired if the nod-off in the middle of the night. There should be 30-minute sanity checks of the officers during these hours, not throw them under the bus because we are deliberately understaffed, underpaid, and overworked by contract. Because of these issues, we have a revolving door and few stay more than a year. I feel sorry for not just my fellow officers, but the line staff that are often told to do impossible tasks because of being understaffed, then being disciplined for not being a superhero. I understand that we are constantly in lawsuits that we apparently always lose or settle, but this is by design and much cheaper than actually fixing any problems.
