Pros

My coworkers make this slave driving job bearable. The people I work with are wonderful and we help each other.

Cons

Sodexo poorly manages their DoD contract. They treat the hard working staff like slaves who need a taskmaster over them watching their every move. Job is very hard on the body. And Mgmt don’t provide simple things that could help the workers. So when they call out because of pain in body they get penalized. Pay is minimum wage. And no bonus. No promotions. No way up the chain out of this dead end job. Mgmt needs to experience what staff goes through day-to-day. For real changes C-suite execs should make this an episode of Undercover Boss and see how bad this is.

Pros

Staff members try to look after each other.

Cons

This company will ruin your mental and physical health. They should not run a jail. Management let prisoners away with everything and make staff feel replaceable when trying to do they're jobs. All this company cares about is hitting profit and hiding any cracks in the system. Which has allowed a internal cancer to grow of dodgy officers, drugs and management bullying. The continuous mismanagement has led to death of prisoners and pushed experience officers to mental health.
