Great Starter Job
ASSISTANT AUDITOR, AUDITOR (Former Employee) – Athens, OH – February 11, 2019
Depending on your team assisgment, work was fun and yet professional. As long as you get your work done within budget most management will leave you alone, It only sucks when you get stuck under a micro manager.
Pros
work remotely, flexible schedules, benefits
Cons
alot of poor managers, constant moving around of teams
Needs improvement
CORECTION OFFICER (Former Employee) – Ohio – February 7, 2019
I lived my job and what i did, but go against the grain and do the right thing (which is what you are taught) you can get fired, wrote up and disciplined. They are trying to move the culture in a new direction but stuck in their own ways. Will knock down anyone to protect their own.
Too Political
Assistant Auditor (Former Employee) – Ohio – February 4, 2019
The internal politics as well as the client politics outweighed all of the potential benefits. Several instances made me question their auditor
Independence. There were obvious familiarity risks.
There were some nice family friendly work policies but the workplace culture was too political.

Housing Compliance Analyst (Former Employee) – Columbus, OH – January 8, 2019
the work environment was a team effort, I learned that you had to make sure you knew a lot about compliance and procedures the type of work we did. because It effect the customer.
Management sometime was not on the same page, they would not include the staff that was working the program,
making sure that the customer was satisfied and the company was in compliance with the state requirements.

Correction sergeant (Former Employee) – Lancaster, OH – December 31, 2018
Pay and benefits were great but work environment in a prison setting is very stressful. Enjoyed the job but policy changed weekly and it seemed like upper management didn’t want you to do your job but turn your head on wrongdoing.
Pros
Pay
Cons
Stressful
No advancement
Reintegration AP1/ Correctional Program Specialist (Current Employee) – Caldwell Ohio – December 28, 2018
I’m not a big fan of this place only because they are very discriminative and is full of clicks. It makes it very hard for someone who is trying to build a career when you have to compete against everybody’s best friend and family member. This is not the type of job for someone who wants to make something of themselves or Move up in management. The benefits are decent but that is about it.
Pros
. The benefits are decent but that is about it.
Cons
It’s dangerous
Dont do it!
Traffic Signal Technician (Current Employee) – Cleveland, OH – December 27, 2018
The manager for the Traffic Signal Electrician job is unprofessional and a pain. The work is easy if the manager wasn’t too busy micromanaging you. His unprofessionalism is shown by the way he talks at people and not to them. This used to be a good department. We were actually productive. Now we are reactive.
Pros
State holidays
Cons
TM3 for the department is loony
great place to work
Seasonal worker (Former Employee) – ohio – December 19, 2018
Took care of Alum creek state park. Made sure that anything that needed to be completed to make guests comfortable and want to come back to visit. Did everything from cut grass to repair machines on a daily basis
It was good at first but as time went on got worse.
lead crews of 4 (Former Employee) – Findlay, OH – December 12, 2018
At first was ok but as time went on found out more about way things and how promotions where given out by which party you were apart of. As things went on more things were taken away to balance the budget on the backs of the worker so the big wigs could give promotions to their friends and also cuts in benefits that really hurt as wages were low but benifits were ok then lost benifits and wages didnt go up.
good place to work
ht1 (Former Employee) – Cleveland, OH – December 12, 2018
unfortunately I can't really say much since I didn't work there long enough and regret ever leaving cause my life and attitude towards everything would have changed big time but no one would help me with it so I just up and quit which was the wrong thing to do , just wish if possible I could come back cause I do not want to be where I'm at anymore
Great benefits

Good but low pay

Low salary
Awesome place to work
