Business outlook

Pros

Flexibility! Outstanding benefits. Plenty of overtime year round. Great family/work life. Many opportunities to work throughout the county. Camaraderie and lifestyle.?

Cons

Morale is extremely low. You begin working at the jail before transferring to Courts or Police. Supervisors at the jail are incompetent. The jail is dirty and the conditions of the job are not OSHA compliment. Management does not care much for the health or well being of the employee. You are replaceable! Not to mention that management and supervisors have no more than a high school education and some are related to inmates.
