Pros

Experience of Correctional healthcare, the environment, and its limitations. Certainly not the pay nor benefits, even the healthcare plans are no better than Medicaid, for finding accepting providers and definitely not the prescription drug coverage

Cons

Way too much work and a severe lack of staffing in numbers and employees for the size facility. Management is always stabbing you in the back, plus they tend to hire family or extended family to spy on the rest of the crew. Even the DON is powerless under the HSA.

I’m sorry your experience with Corizon wasn’t a more positive one. I want to address your comment on the healthcare benefits. Due to the size of our organization, we are part of a healthcare exchange. This allows our employees to choose from up to five different medical carriers (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Health Care, Kaiser and Cigna) and four different levels of coverage. I can’t say that I’ve ever heard of someone having issues finding accepting providers. There are most certainly locations with a stronger presence than others, which is why we offer up the multiple choices. Employees have access to a tool allowing them to verify that their providers are part of the various networks, prior to having to select a plan. I’m not sure if you used that tool upon enrollment, but do think it’s noteworthy to mention the tool is out there. I just reviewed the staffing levels for nursing at this particular site, and it appears we have a couple of active LPN searches but are actually overstaffed on RNs at this time. Recruiting for the corrections environment is certainly not without its challenges, but we have a dedicated recruiter focused on making sure we meet our contractual staffing levels. As it pertains to the management issues you’ve outlined, should any staff member feel like they cannot turn to their DON or HSA, we’d expect staff to utilize their chain of command, by taking it to their Director of Operations. We also have a compliance line that employees can use, should they wish to remain anonymous, in reporting any issues in the field. I can certainly share your concerns with the Employee Relations rep for this site, in the event there are other staff members, still onsite, that may feel the same. Best of luck going forward. Sincerely, Courtney Penning Director of Talent Acquisition

Pros

Have had a diverse amount of technologies over the years to work with and the job pace itself is not super face paced so in most cases, can take time to resolve issues without feeling too rushed. This allows for more research time on complex issues and learning about new technologies as we implemented them.

Cons

There hasn't been any upward movement available in a long time, no chances for advancement anymore. The company financials have steeply declined since the last ownership change. Bills aren't getting paid on time so we are stuck chasing down getting a bill paid to get Internet connections back up for example. Communication is also very much non-existent as to the state of the company, so have to rely on what is in the news to find out any real answers. Company recently filed for bankruptcy. We haven't been paid it over 25 days but we are expected to still show up and perform our normal duties.
