Department of Justice and Community Safety Employee Review

Toxic environment led by management

Prison Officer (Former Employee) - Barwon VIC - 12 August 2023

Unsafe toxic environment with promotions for people who suck up and are brown nosers. Prisoners have more rights than staff! Safety of staff is ignored.

Pros

9 day fortnight

Cons

To long a list to mention

Tremble place to work

Disgusting workplace & unsafe work environment. Staff are bully’s & treat new staff terrible. Prisoners are spoken to in a disgusting manner.If you have self worth and respect who you are as a person don’t work for them

Cons

Long hours for little reward

Not for everyone

Prison Officer (Current Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 13 November 2022

Job is definitely not for everyone as it can take a toll on mental health, however the shift work is great for work/life balance with 7-8 day fortnights and plenty of overtime available. Generous leave entitlements

Long hours, shiftwork

Prison Officer (Current Employee) - Geelong VIC - 17 June 2020

The job is team focused, stressful at times, stable, management is not always supportive, the culture is sometimes not positive, male dominated, shiftwork, good people to work with overall.
