Management preaches values, but, in practice, management will not support you.
If you are a hard worker but do not belong in a click or favorite group, you are toast. You have to practically kiss behinds to be even looked at. The only way this will work for you is if you are an "out of sight, out of mind" type, perhaps you will have a chance to belong and prosper there.
ProsGreat benefits
ConsYou have to kiss behinds to move up.

Nonsupportive Work environment.
There seemed to be favoritism and lots of discrimination based on gender and ethnicity. Managers would frown on leave requests. The facility was filthy and crawling with mice.

It’s terrible. Everything that they tell you in your interview is opposite of what really happens there.
It’s a terrible place to work. Entirely profit driven. All employees are replaceable and they’ll tell you that whenever they get a chance. Mandatory overtime, all of the time, and if you refuse, your fired. Your home/personal life does not matter to them. You are replaceable.
ProsNone
ConsThey are a “for profit” private prison and real estate company. People don’t matter, only profits do.

You learn what not to do working there
The job itself isn’t bad the staff is the problem inmates can only do what you allow them to and with that being said the staff are lazy and complacent if those inmates wanted to start a riot they could if they wanted to take the prison they could do that 2 in the many years I’ve worked I never experienced anything like that before and it’s ridiculous to me
ProsMoney
ConsHard to get relief for restroom or to go home

Challenging Montana corrections facility
CoreCivic is a great company to work for. They care for their employees, promote from within, and as a nation-wide corporation have opportunities for growth and advancement in many areas. Corrections can be challenging for anyone, but with the provided training in an academy for officers, it prepares you for the unexpected.
ProsMedical benefits offered, competitive wages
ConsRequired overtime, long shifts

Workplace
I worked for the company for over ten years. It was previously called Corrections Corporation of American. The company's vision and mission lined up well with the employee expectancy. The overall goal was to provide a safe and secure environment for both staff and offenders. This was achieved daily.
ProsGreat pay and bonuses
ConsWorking during lockdowns

Overall a decent company.
I was a part of upper management. There were definitely opportunities for all staff to advance and promote through the ranks. At times there were some individuals in high ranking positions who had no business in such a position as they were highly unprofessional and lacked integrity. The health benefits were good. Salary was competitive.
Prosfree lunches
Consstaff shortage

My experiences...
Great and interesting workplace with festive holiday meals. I had the opportunity to view people from all over the globe and learned that our only differences were culture. Employee separation made the job difficult. Overall, I wouldn't change the experiences for anything.
ProsGreat incentives
ConsOften overworked
