Pros

The benefits and salary are the only things that made the job tolerable, but they like to threaten you by saying "You won't find a place to pay you this good;" which is so far from the truth!

Cons

Management: Plain and simple the supervisors are hypocritical and demeaning to staff. I have seen people cursed at regularly by so-called professionals (Wardens none the less). I was personally harassed by a warden and the issue even went to corporate, but afterwards I was harassed daily by other supervisors for 6 months until I just quit. Middle Management: Hypocritical power hungry people who relish in barking outrageous demands of their "subordinates." They like to say they are a team at GEO, but truth be told the environment is not friendly and there is no feeling of team only peons and those in charge.

Pros

Aside from the inmate meal they so graciously provide you at lunch, there is nothing that is positive about the company.

Cons

If you are a military veteran that values your integrity, ethics and the values that motivated you to serve your country, this is NOT a company you want to work for. Nothing good will come of it. The talents of good people are wasted and unappreciated. They violate department of correction policies and are consistently fined. They refuse to hold their leadership accountable. They favor retaliation and harassment against good employees that refuse to become complicit in covering up violations and wrong-doings. Huge amounts of favoritism in the workplace and a double-standard for men and women. Stay away from this company at all costs.

Pros

Descent pay, descent hours, descent benefits

Cons

It was extremely full of racism, veteran vs the newbees, any nursing errors were spread like wildfire with no honorable intent to teach or correct, not uncommon to be greeted with silence or whispering, my car window was written on by another employee nothing was done. If you want to work here you better put on your tough girl panties, your game face and trust NO ONE.I was screamed at, humiliated, bullied for what??? It wont be one of the great and fun nursing positions you may have had. I did adore my supervisor, but she didn't have it easy either.
