Pros

-great schedule, decent enough pay, work jail to road, my shift had 2 great higher ups(out of 4), shift 1&2 were going to have your back when you called for back up quickly

Cons

-way to little training, not all rules are truly observed, told to do one thing then told its wrong, way to overworked due to constantly being below a true full shift: - get told its a year to go to academy,gets constantly pushed back due to so high turnover and needing people to stay in jail and having to wait in pool, even if you make it to academy have to wait even longer to go to road till a spot opens when there are people who lateral transfer and take those spots. in the end it is a constant trap to keep you in the jail due to high turnover - shift 3&4 constantly were talked badly about on their practices

Pros

Usually with a group of people that end up being your family. Hiring process is pretty smooth. The job will test you and ultimately give you a strong understanding on how to deal with people from all walks of life.

Cons

You get stuck working the jail for 2 plus years until they can send you to get officially certified (if you aren't already). So if you are looking for a quick transition this is not the place for you. Management is pretty poor at the lower levels.

Pros

Good training, great coworkers, great environment, there is burnout but resources available to manage

Cons

The burnout. There isn’t adequate staffing at night so you’re constantly covering shifts.
