Definitely not the best place to be.
Pros
Its easy to schedule time off. If you use your holiday time wisely you can end up with a full 7 days off, paid. Most of the people, not all but most of the people that work with you are genuinely good people.
Cons
Nepotism runs rampant here... its a buddy-buddy good ol' boy environment. The people in power aren't leaders or man managers in any way shape or form. Its almost a cardinal sin to use sick time, and the long hours take a toll on you. You'll bring home all kinds of sick if you're not careful. Be prepared to babysit 30-60+ year old men and women, and I don't mean that in a joking way. Administration is spineless... when an inmate does something wrong half the time they'll get away with it. You on the other hand, you'll have the rulebook thrown into your face. If you're not part of the clique, you'll be singled out for things everyone is doing. There aren't many opportunities to advance, and more often than not its the lazy ones who get promoted.
