Singapore Prison Service Employee Review

Unique job

prison officer (Former Employee) - Changi - January 8, 2023

Dealing with inmates is a unique job and working inside prison is unlike others. Job can become mundane overtime. Will need to learn other skills to apply in your work .

Excellent. I would love to be employ back by SPS as RO. Sadly there isnt any opening yet. Definitely i do encourage Singaporean to join as you may also upgrade your education while gaining some real life experiences. Good luck.

Pros

Need a very good stamina, patience, people-oriented and good listener. Friendly but yet assertive. Ready to react. Build good rapport with the people your work with and also the inmates so your work will be a pleasant one.

Toxic

Assistant Executive (Former Employee) - Upper Changi - July 13, 2021

They gave me a performance management review in less than one week before they asked me to turn in my position. We are allowed to use our phones to listen to music and things like that, and because of that, I get fired? They even had the cheek to say I could stay another 2 weeks but without getting paid. Who would want that? It's toxic especially the Staff Management Branch.
