Reviews about "work environment"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Realistic work expectations. Relaxed work environment.
Cons
Virginia's ridiculous IT services arrangement with an outside vendor is almost impossible to work with. It's nearly as bad as the fed's buying a $500 hammer with a 2 month backlog. Salaries are below par as are most government positions. Noticeable salary increases are nonexistent.

Excellent work environment. Great place to learn.
Cons
Not any cons that I can include at this moment.
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Its great being a public servant and doing a job that many people would not be able to do. Good training opportunities.
Cons
Very political from the bottom to the top. Many cut backs due to state budget being cut. All prisons in the state are working short handed which makes for a dangerous work environment. Working short handed also causes moral to drop due to staff having to constantly work over time that they do not get paid for as they are force to adjust all over time off. There is talk of closing more prisons in Virginia this year. The departments pay band has been messed up for years. I am a supervisor and have worked for the department for going on 15 years. I know Officer with less then half my time in that make more than I do. We have only had one or two pay raises in the past 7 or 8 years. Every time we received a pay raise our insurance would go up so much that we would bring home less on our checks than before we go the raise. To shorten this up. NO cost of living raises, NO longevity pay, Short staffed, NO paid overtime, Staff have less right that the offenders they watch.
