I'm a 25 year old male. I've been a correctional officer working for the state of Texas for the last 6 years as of 11/13/2023. 6 years means im a COV or topped out in pay currently, which is around 54k/year with benefits(retirement/pension plan, health insurance paid for, a lot of time off accumulated... but seldom used.) We got approved for a 5% raise that will start September 1st of next year. Which will bring me up to 57k/year with benefits. My issue here is that I'm so burnt out 1/2

I'm so burnt out. A lot of staff are leaving or retiring. The quality of staff that are replacing those leaving is absolutely abhorrent at best(sleeping, propping doors, absolute disregard for even the basics of security in a mid level prison, even when im training an OJT/New officer). The new generation of inmates is even worse. im honestly not sure if it's worth the money anymore. I'm vested in my retirement at 10 years. I'd lock in something. But im at a loss as to what I'd do. This has been my longest running job. Any advice would be appreciated. I don't see this system getting any better anytime soon. 2/2

Have you tried putting in for a promotion for a higher role? W/the time you've put in at your position, I'm sure they'd consider you for a higher role/better paying job.....

I just retired from Plano PD, you should check out agencies in the DFW area. Everyone is hiring and pay up here is pretty good. We top out at 36 months at 100k and usually get a pay increase every year. I was making about $135k a year with overtime.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected).

What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
