Pros

Working in Corrections is a very stressful profession. The crooked management only made work even more stressful.

Hostile and unprofessional work environment

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

The pay at my facility is god because it is set by the federal government. Other than that, there are no pros.

Cons

GEO corporate allows the local managers to get away with immoral and unethical behavior. The corporate management is to concerned with how to squeeze another cent out of each employee to pay any attention to the mistreatment of those employees at the hands of their managers.
