Pros

Great pay rate and lots of overtime.

Cons

Lot of group politics, officers given mandatory overtime five days a week, warden trying to cut cost so would rather overwork officers than hire new officers, high turnover for new officers who are not briefed on conditions of employment, would fix issue or redirect when facility inspections occur.

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.
