It's a job
n/a (Current Employee) – tx – February 14, 2019
At the local level, management support is lacking. Business is contract driven and very little is said or done if it might upset the "customer" so much so it is to the detriment of the good order and day to day operations.
Turnover is about 50% and the hiring process dictated by the facility is unrealistic due to the time it takes to get a person cleared to work in the building.
Working inside a correctional facility is not for every one. Dealing with criminals all day is tiresome, especially when you see how manipulative and demanding they are. There is an odd sense of entitlement that they have. It is amazing.

Unprofessional management,
Stocker (Current Employee) – Strongsville, OH – March 16, 2019
Pulling orders, supervisor think he can talk to you anyway he wants. Bad part you have to stay until job is done. Nothing is enjoyable about the job, management doesn't care about its employees
Pros
Employed
Cons
Everything
Not a good place to work at
Commissary Representative (Former Employee) – San Bernardino, CA – March 4, 2019
Being a commissary representative, you have to work mainly inside the jail Witha lot of criminals around you, trying to steal items from you. a lot of times the environement is very nasty
Commissary Rep
Commissary Rep (Former Employee) – Fontana, CA – February 13, 2019
A typical day at Keefe was chill but could also be stressful but only because the inmates. So my day would start at around 6 p.m. and I was part-time. So at 6 p.m I'd drive to the Cois Bryd detention center formally the southwest detention center in Murrieta and wait for the manager or assistant manager and once they are there you'd go in the jail sign in and wait for an escort while doing so the manager would go to the back and offload and once you got your escort you would meet them at the loading dock and help offload. Then you would split up depending on how many people you had and go to the pods and delivery the inmates their goods.
Fast paced and stressful
Commissary Representative (Former Employee) – Big Stone Gap, VA – February 10, 2019
The job was very stressful. You were working with offenders on a daily basis. Accountability is a must, and you must be alert and be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Pros
Time off
Cons
Pulling carts

I love my job but the environment is something else.
Coordinator/Supervisor (Current Employee) – Pearl, MS – January 29, 2019
I love doing my job and everything but the negative people makes the environment rather dusty. My manager is a cool guy but he tends to take anger out for the people that don't come to work or do their jobs on the people that do come to work and do their jobs. I hope he doesn't run our good people away and leave us with the bad ones.
Pros
love the company
Cons
terrible environment
Good place. Few advancement opportunities
Warehouse Worker (Current Employee) – Fontana, CA – January 2, 2019
It was a place where I was moved around to learn different positions.
Schedule was very good and they offered holidays off and no weekends. You work 9 hour days Mon-Thur and have a short day Friday.

Operations Manager (Former Employee) – Seattle, WA – December 2, 2018
The hardest part of the job was not having enough time to get all aspects of the job done during work hours, resulting in me taking work home or going in unpaid on weekends.
Really enjoyed the people that i worked with.

IT Support Analyst (Current Employee) – St. Louis, MO – October 12, 2018
A typical day at work includes addressing tickets customers send in and working through them to help satisfy our customer needs. The Keefe environment is friendly and you can always rely on your teammates.
Horrible place to work!
Stocker (Former Employee) – Grandrapids Michigan – October 10, 2018
This is the worst job I have ever done!!! This place is very unorganized. The management Is very poor. Management talk to the employees like trash! The most stressful place to work. They need to shut this place down!!!!
A lot of drama among employees.
Warehouse Associate (Current Employee) – Strongsville, OH – October 7, 2018
I get along with everyone but much drama among some employees. Bonus was promised at hiring but has failed to come through. They keep telling us the bonuses will kick in in a month but that was 5 months ago.
Pros
Overtime available some weeks
Cons
No room for advancement
Good Company

Foul Workplace
Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) – Sun Valley, NV – September 1, 2018
Some people are ok, most like to talk trash.
Upper management is extremely toxic to anyone that isn’t in their circle. Work is always exhausting because they won’t hire more than a handful of employees at any given time even when the workload is huge.
Overall I genuinely regret working here, it was taxing on my time and life.
