serving clients and expanding programs and services
Being around people i like
Knowing that I could potentially make a difference.
Keeping the public safe
The upper does not listen to the people that are actually working the job everyday. They put things on paper that are not feasible as far as time goes. They have forgotten where they came from.
Underpaid workers and staff. Pay increases.
mandatory overtime and some of it is not paid the way it should.
The entire culture of TDCJ needs to change. Analogy; The old wash board was our 1st washing machine but overtime the washing machine has improved becoming what it is today. You don't have to dismantle the agency but forward thinking and being progressive is past due. This agency is also top heavy.
the benefits package at TDCJ is not bad.
staffing shortage and rank changes
