Pros

-Take home company canine -Take home company vehicle -Employee insurance covered by the company -Canine care is covered by the company

Cons

-The company owner promises 80 hours bi-weekly which doesn't always happen -There is only 10-12 handlers in the company so it is impossible to schedule appointments -Five people have quit in five months which doesn't say a whole lot about the company -The company will always have handlers as long as it lowers its experience standards which is unfortunate because otherwise it would fail -You sit in your vehicle for 9 straight hours a day and then face D.C. traffic -Employees lie on time sheets if late and are never held accountable for their actions -Owner seems very unorganized and has papers everywhere in her office -Shady employees who talk behind your back -Owner complains employees live too far away but yet you don't make enough to live remotely close to D.C.

Explosive Countermeasures International Response

We did have a gentleman that endured all of this. I am sorry other handlers talked about you behind your back. We grew and although where we want to be is a long week followed by a short week, we grew and needed to cover the sites. I had just as many complaints when we stabilized because people had gotten use to the ot pay. I did have people leave to make the big bucks overseas! Nightmare. I do not complain that employees live to far from the site, they are required to live within 50 miles of the site, I do not accept I was late because of where I live. What I do tell everyone is, "I do not tell you were to live, but I do expect you to be on time".
