What needs to change to make the company culture better?

I think d/o's should be rewarded for keeping order in the facility, for example if an officer is on post for 30 days and no incidents have occured he or she should receive a gift card.

Review from Operations Dept

Attendance like we are getting good pay.let it be 12hours shift not at times we do 13hours because G1 key are few and most of the key are not working good enough

Rotation of posts for more versatility in staff

Review from Operations Dept

Being open-minded and being willing to train and understand that everyone learns differently.

Review from Operations Dept

Certain leaders need to respect us employees on how they speak to us and as well to the detainees some leaders talk to them ugly disrespectful they belittle them some are inmates but there’s more detainees they need to also get respected every dorm I

Review from Operations Dept

Leadership should receive more training in team building and integrity in the work place.

Review from Operations Dept

Nothing I can think of.

Review from Operations Dept

Better leadership. Reviewing resumes and appointing people to positions that suit them vs giving people positions based off the color of their skin.

Review from Operations Dept

Not to lie about wheee the job is located and going to he moved to

Review from Operations Dept

Communication, stability, uniforms, you name it

Review from Operations Dept

As said before, I was led to believe I'd be working while getting my act 235.. once hired and trained they have "no place for me" kinda crazy to waste all the money to train me yet not put me to work

Review from Operations Dept

Managrment was better it would be better

Review from Design Dept

More staff at an admin level. A clearly defined hierarchy that takes some of the burden off the manager, who is currently responsible for approximately 90 employees. FLIGHT Supervisors need more responsibility

Review from Operations Dept

The managers need to be replaced, such as SCM and PM.

Review from Admin Dept

We need more competency and line level leadership. Really feel sort of lost most of the time and my Manager just doesn't have the time to train me in relation to how I learn.

Review from Operations Dept

Less 16 hour shifts. We should just be on a 12 hour rotation to help ease the overtime. People arent resting and its becoming danherous for our health and physical wellbeing
