What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The most positive thing at my company is the responses to incidents and sometimes staff apprection week thats about it.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

My coworkers need to improve there logical thing and planning when it comes to handleing the inmate popluation. Lastly, them and myself need better traing not just sitting down in a room and listening but actually traing our skill set.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

The leadership team needs to get better at communicating with us staff and show us theh actually appreciate the effort we put it. The final thing the leadership team needs to do is to come to our breigings and listen to our complaints and concerns with a open mind to change.

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

I feel undervalued by the amount of pay we are given hourly. I truly feel if we were to get paid what we deserved ti get paid we wouldnt be so short all of the time. I feel that things such as work incentives and better bonuses would boost performance from all staff members as a whole.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

I can speak for most of my Colleagues and say that we feel underpaid and under appreciated by the people running our company. We feel that we are just a body covering a post or that we are completely expendable without remorse. Its hard to want to succeed when you have nothing pushing you to do it.
