Is this your company?

Wouldn't recommend working here as an OSG - Osg HM Prison Service Employee Review

Pros

Wages paid on time, Free parking, Subsided canteen.

Cons

Dropped in at the deep end with virtually no training. You only learn by your mistakes and are then humiliated by your colleagues. Many established staff have formed cliques and make no effort to be friendly to or help new staff settle in. I waited 14 months from interview until my start date but did not have the proper uniform, shift pattern, or id card until I'd been there over a month. To be fair most of the prison officers were pretty decent to me but many osgs have bad attitudes to new starters.
