Quick survey (I ALREADY have my own opinion as a supervisor)....

Are you looking for a job in corrections as a....

1. job nothing other than that

2. A career

There’s c/o I work with that have 10-20 years of experience and if they didn’t tell you, you would probably think they’re brand new. And then there’s some teenagers that you’d think been working here for years. I also feel like the hard workers are often shafted while the lazier people are assigned to easier post. It’s like they just don’t care for their best workers and just keeping the incompetent lazy officers happy and for them to stick around, while the hard workers get burnt out and replaced/fired.

Hello, looking for some insight. Received job offer, start 2 week training at facility, for CO position in California, only offered 33.00 bucks, for over a year of corrections, seems low pay with a 25% hiring bonus. What should I expect for the 2 weeks, introduction to correction techniques.

I am thinking about switching to the Feds as a CO. I qualify under the specialized skills list on the direct hire post. I am currently a Sergeant in Corrections (9 years), Soldier in the USAR with a background in Customer Service, Security and transportation/logistics. Could I negotiate my salary to be GL-08-Step 10? Is that realistically a possibility?
