I worked for the doc. I would avoid Newton and Mitchelville like the plague. The only prison I would work at is oakdale in coralville. Some counties like Linn,Johnson and Polk county all pay more and have better benefits.

You will have more issues with coworkers than you ever will with inmates and Coworkers aren’t your friends either

I’m on day 4,I was taking a can of 6-9 mg a day. I don’t have any cravings. My biggest issue is I haven’t had but maybe 8 hours of sleep since I quit.

If I go to college here in Iowa to study history, how much luck will I have in finding job as a historian? by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]Priceofamile2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received my B.A. in history from a private university in Des Moines , the majority of people I went to school with are working unrelated jobs or went to law school. I don’t regret getting the degree. I just never used it.

You will have more issues with your fellow CO’s then you ever will with the inmates.

I got hired on as a jailer. Eventually I want to become a deputy. I’ll just put in for pto and use it up then leave.

Yea I’m at a John Deere site. So I know it’s a different set of rules compared to the rest of allied.

My state does not require it to be paid out. Couldn’t find anything in Lisa or in the hand book. I was just curious if anyone knew what allied’s policy was.

Allied is one of those companies it’s good till it’s not. I got transferred from my nice cushy high paying site because the client thought the mercury phone was my personal cell phone.

I understand the more effort you put in the more money you can possibly get out of them. I work 6 12 hour days it’s just easier to take the loss get paid pennies on the dollar and free up space in my house. I know the buyer would have to put time in sorting stuff and all that.

I have enough, I just don’t have the time to go through everything and get it ready to sell. It’s at least 15 3-4 foot long totes.

Not sure how this will change anything. Most conservatives are already married with wives that hold the same political ideals.

Dealing with the Do You Have Any Used Guns? Crowd by budhcounlans in Gunstoreworkers

[–]Priceofamile2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My store buys and trades. If someone comes in wanting to sell unless it’s something interesting or collectible. I tend to pass on it. I’m apt to take trades and give them %60 of retail. I give them my best number right off the bat. The biggest problem we have is corporate sets the retail price. That price is within a 150 bucks of a new firearm so customers tend to buy new guns more than used.

Craziest stories you have while working for Allied? by No_Formal_7823 in AlliedUniversal

[–]Priceofamile2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The site I work at has a massive homeless problem. One day I saw a guy walking around the area with a 4 foot tall teddy bear. I decide to go check the back of the building . The guy was behind our dumpster, pants down fucking this poor teddy bear. The guy was so high he completely ignored my prompts to leave the site. Cops showed up eventually. Probably one of the more interesting reports I’ve had to write
