Review from Admin Dept

Review from Customer Support Dept

The pay on top of medical

Review from Admin Dept

The hourly is amazing pay and I am very satisfied but the benefits are so expensive even with the extra money to help pay for it

Review from Operations Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I am a CPS, but I have been a lot of case management which I love supporting my team. I just want acknowledgement of the work I do. I run groups, set up all social security appointment interviews, CRR, housing, and prep all resident in preparation for interview assessment.

Review from Executive Dept · Posted 2 days ago

If GEO wants to attract and retain high quality employee's who will make their position a career and not a temporary stopping point, the pay should commensurate with the cost of living.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Some type of bonus pay or hazard pay on a quarterly basis.

Review from Communications Dept

I feel that I should at least get hazard pay for being inside a controlled enviorment.

Review from Operations Dept

I feel undervalued due to a toxic work environment, lack of communication within department, hostile behavior with intentional incorrect name references, unpleasant attitudes towards employees and unappreciative of work efforts. I expect a higher compensation for my skill set/ progress with inmate

Review from Operations Dept

Better benefits leas hours and following policies

Review from Operations Dept

Higher pay for kitchen employees

Review from Operations Dept

Handling the amount of volume in the mail room, including the different personalities of the detainees mail room get's daily.

Review from Admin Dept

I am concerned about the balance between pay, workload, and responsibility in my role. W/only three days of training and situations where nurses are left alone, it can feel overwhelming and potentially unsafe. I believe additional training and better staffing support would help ensure quality care

Review from Product Dept

Part timers should receive benefits and equal pay

Review from Operations Dept

All other human resource positions in every company in Southern California pay above 30.00 per hour to start. Geo is considerably less at 25.00. Making the health and welfare benefit the only reason to take the job. In order to have a salary to live on.

Review from HR Dept

Over worked, too much work to combine in 8 hours. Would like corporate to consider 4 10s like we used to have

Review from Admin Dept

match the local average hourly pay

Review from Operations Dept

Never praised when I do something well, but they'll be quick to scold if something is not done correctly.

Review from Operations Dept

Equal respect from upper management

Review from Operations Dept

The significant workload placed on a single supervisor, combined with ongoing staffing shortages, creates an undue burden on all managers. As a result, supervisors often work extended hours while juggling multiple roles. Additionally, the current salary structure is not competitive w/ other company

Review from Operations Dept

I feel undervalued by the lack of security for front entry staff. At our two neighboring facilities, there are secure gates that prevent free access to the facilities, however, at the D. Ray facilty we do not have that. This allows the public and visitors free access to the front entry staff.

Review from Operations Dept

Current leads, trainers, and the flight manager do not seem to take employees' requests seriously. Whether it is for a personal issue or to take emergency time off. It appears that if you belong to the right "click", your request will be looked at. Other than that, it will not.

Review from Operations Dept

More pay for all the work that a person does would be nice. We are expected to do a job but also do other positions at the same time with no difference in pay.

Review from Admin Dept

The more I learn about the job the more is being added to it. I do feel the pay was fair originally but now that so much more is being added it does feel like 18 per hour or 19 per hour would be more fair.
