Pros

CCA is generally a good government contractor with good intentions and decent pay.

Cons

As large businesses owned by stockholders often due, they sometimes let the priorities of profit obscure the best interests of their employees. We've seen this numerous times with little or no raises, with healthcare increases, and with the big layoff in late 2016. Add to that the fact that they are always in the news for bad things. Many of these are not fairly reported, but nonetheless, it causes outsiders to distrust and dislike the company.

CoreCivic Response

Thank you for your feedback. The layoff in 2016 only affected our Corporate staff and was a move driven by the need to correct support staff headcount to operational headcount. the layoff was less than 10% of corporate staff. We appreciate your clarification of news media misrepresentation that deliberately sensationalizes incidents.

Pros

CC Uses cutting-edge Technologies, which is good experience for resume building; many of the Teams are collaborative; interesting work and you can believe in company goals.

Cons

Director and Manager level mgmt at corporate here do not provide guidance on projects. There is a lot of turnover on data projects because new employees are thrown into the deep end and then just blamed if results are not as expected. CC really needs more hands-on project oversight. There are also behavioral and anger issues with a couple long-time ppl as well, and this is both exhausting and (sometimes) outright humiliating. They need to treat new people better.

CoreCivic Response

Thank you for your feedback around technology and project management. We will share your comments with the appropriate leaders for their awareness and review.
