The GEO Group Employee Reviews

The problem is not with GEO. It is with how the information is given to a new employee for training. I realize that learning a new job especially this one is going to be confusing. But it would seem that steps and methods for employees are not planned out for new employees like a treatment plan is.

Unexpected behavior from supervision overall.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 13 days ago

Everyone seems to have their own way of doing things, which makes it hard to figure out an accurate way of doing things. I would hope there is an actual training process for how the assessments are done from GEO instead of a crash course on doing things and then being expected to remember it all.
