It is an amazing learning curve to work

Little opportunity to grow. Less relationship with subordinates and junior management Perhaps senior management must consider promotions every five years to all officials that qualify. It is a best place to apply policies and procedures hence it is a security cluster. I managed investigation and Security Risk office for 15 years and with my staff, we are enjoying every minute by sharing all work ideas and by strengthening it with team building sessions. I enjoyed the day we traced a corrupt senior official who was awarding tenders to his friends.

Pros: Best place to work when you want to further your studies
Cons: It is not a good place to work due to non promotions

Teach interpersonal

Working at a Correctional Centre taught me social skills, I working with people, doing Covid-19 screening and contact tracing. The working environment is good, the members/employees are good. There are few challenges there, as the main focus is on Covid-19. It is sometimes scary when working with inmates as you don't know what the are thinking. lifeee....you r the pillar that holds my life

Pros: Great opportunity, good salary,
Cons: Working with inmates was quite scary because you don't know what they are thinking

Good working ethics
