Pros
If you want a job that is more than just about the pay, and have no special education, consider a career in Corrections. Jobs are available everywhere, and always pay better than average. The work is not physically demanding, work environment is clean and climate controlled (usually). You meet the greatest people when you work in law enforcement! Mohave County was great to work for supervisors are fair, but demanding and always approachable.
Cons
You also work with the most terrible people. Murders, rapists', gang members who will try to manipulate and control you anyway they can. To be successful you must always be professional, and never deviate from policies because they are put there to protect you. At times the work can get boring. At other times it can be very stressful and be ready to respond quickly to changing situations. There will be times you will have to fight to protect yourself, fellow staff members or inmates. Overtime is always available and often mandatory.
