Pros

I work with an excellent group of people who are very supportive of each other. Middle management supervisors are above average and attempt to assist as well as manage thier people. PTO is above average for most companies.

Cons

Low pay and no raises for non uniform staff in 5 years, 60 hour work load no overtime permitted. Caseloads are more than double what simular companies assign. Non uniformed are considered as support security and often pulled for that purpose with no leadway to complete our work, nor trained for security. Employees work under the "fear factor" princible and time is micro managed by GEO. Employees have been "walked off" for investigation and left there for up to 6 months with no pay. Pay is lower than what is averaged by this company. If you don't complete your work your supervisor receives a contact. Most of the people at our facility are actively seeking a new job.

Pros

GEO offers opportunity to buy in on their stocks at a special rate. After my 5 year anniversary I will be earning more paid time off than before. They offer lots of benefits including a uniform and education reimbursment.

Cons

Never having a pay raise is a downer. Really wish they would consider cost of living increase at least. All of my annual evaluations are really good. But we are not rewarded with pay increases.

Pros

It's a job It has benefits

Cons

Company does NOT care about their employees If there is an allegation against you, you can be suspended w/o being told why...for several months Top management is totally out of touch with staff, they spend all their time in meetings New facility director doesn't seem to be helping and barely even speaks to staff.
