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

The non-management employees are usually a good group of people to work with. I have come across a couple of exceptions.

Cons

The corporate management at GEO are a bunch of bullies. I have witnessed a couple of directors and managers verbally and physically abuse their employees. Unfortunately, the employees are paid off to keep quiet about it so nothing ever gets done about it.

Pros

There are a lot of opportunities for promotion, but that is mostly due to the extent of employee turnover due to dissatisfaction of the workplace environment.

Cons

Complete and total disconnect from senior management to the facility level. The corporate office doesn't have a clue, and seemingly doesn't have an interest in getting one.
