Pay and professionalism are completely lacking

[Unregistered]

The pay is on par for the current level of professionalism which is very low. Iv been @ the jail for a few years and with starting certified pay being $17.45, I see why we there are no quality staff being hired. TRAINEES at other surrounding sheriff offices start @ $20 an hour... I understand we are a rural county, but come on we work as hard as any other deputies do and put up with a lot. Cant blame our turnover rate for being so high, especially at the jail. Anyone thinking about applying here should look elsewhere and not turn back, if you ever plan on advancing with hard work or dedication. There is very little room for advancement, unless you are a subordinate sleeping with someone in authority, which is sadly common practice here. If you have half a brain apply elsewhere, you'll thank me later!

And I was just about to post a thread asking what it is like working here...

PLEASE continue to hire douchebags and washouts from other agencies! The folks in your recruiting and background section need a raise for the fabulous recruit applicants you are bringing in!

They have a retired FBI agent in charge of background checks what else could you ask for ?
