Employees appreciate their colleagues at The GEO Group, noting that they are supportive, friendly and create a sense of camaraderie in the workplace. The company offers strong job security with consistent work and reliable employment. Pay and benefits are reasonable with good entitlements and overtime availability, and training opportunities are available that allow employees to gain qualifications they wouldn't get elsewhere.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as management being an area for improvement with issues around communication, support and experience levels. Communication from management and head office could be enhanced, with employees noting slow responses and limited consultation. Some employees have indicated that organisational processes can be disorganised, particularly around recruitment and onboarding, and systems are noted as being dated due to industry constraints. Additionally, staff shortages and high turnover can impact the working environment, and career progression opportunities may be limited for some roles.
