Pros

• if you actually like to help people, then you might find it very rewarding actively helping inmates rehabilitate.

Cons

• too much politics. • administration has an addiction to micromanaging. • if you upset anyone, be prepared to hear rumors spread about you with the intention of getting you fired or investigated. • administration makes it hard for you to do your job. • no sick days, you have to use your pto for everything in regards to missing a day of work. • no overtime. • be prepared to be discouraged a lot. any idea you have will most likely be shut down. •you’re supposed to get a raise every year you’re there, they do not do that. • lots of favoritism. • policies are constantly changing. • they’ll ask you to be a team player a lot, you’ll be stuck working 3 different positions but questioned as to why your work is not done. • overall, it’s just too complicated, too political, too clique-y, and too stressful.

Pros

The pro of working at the geo group was the overtime you were able to get. The PTO you start off with after your 3 months that they would give you depending on when you started. Also allowed potlooks.

Cons

The cons were this environment was very messy! Management was extremely messy abs horrible to some employees. There is no structure you can take a break however long you like they won’t say anything because they don’t wanna lose employees. They will write you up for something that happens months ago if you call off.
