        Pros

        I can't think of a pro at the moment

        Cons

        Short staffed, and poor management. Under qualified people are given management positions because they don't pay enough to attract qualified people. The prisons are time based contracts. The place can close down and leave you high and dry. Not a place to work if you're looking for a career.

      Underwriter

      I've completed an initial phone screening interview, followed by a 2-hour interview with the Department VP. Next in the process are three separate 90-minute peer interviews. Is there a possibility of another interview after the peer interviews, or should I anticipate receiving an offer?
