some abusive and unstable managers that know how to operate just above illegal so HR can't do anything about it. If exempt, may work long hours with no compensation Depends on the department but many have no opportunity to advance

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Tarrant County full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Great retirement plan if you can vest, decent (but expensive) health care, job security once you're covered under civil service, decent pay
Cons
The inmates have more freedom and get more respect than the officers. Inmates, the public, and many coworkers are openly hostile. Morale is horrible, turnover is high.Terrible work conditions and bad supervision have driven out a lot of people. Dangerously understaffed. The "good ole boy" system is very much in evidence. Decisions are reactive, not proactive. Employee concerns are frequently disregarded. Some supervisors...

Listen to employees. Stop making knee-jerk reactions. Don't allow personal grudges to affect treatment of certain employees. Make more effort to retain good employees, so the rest aren't put in jeopardy by being short-handed
