State job = nepotism + politics

Pay and Benefits, Union, Retirement, wide array of people
Cons
You sign a contract to work mandatory overtime, up to 16 hours weekly. A LOT of nepotism and political drama; even though it's technically against policy it always comes around. Higher-ups play favorites very often with staff and wards.

Employee Beware
Sep 16, 2022 - Correctional Officer in Wilsonville, ORRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Unlimited overtime. Of course you will lose your mental and physical health, your family and friends but the money is GREAT. There is some euphoria to only getting four hours of sleep a day.
Cons
The worst job I ever had. The trainers are sexual predators. It's weird because you take an oath and yet so many officers and managers are cheating on spouses or have substance abuse issues. Some went off to prison themselves. Just an awful place to work. You are not working with the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Great pay and benefits. There is a lot of internal mobility.

Most toxic place agency I have ever worked for. There is no direction from the executive team, a team with hardly any practical experience.
