Pros
Decent pay and experience and there are good deputies and supervisors that work there. Got my POST and found a better agency to work for.
Cons
Worked as a deputy for two years and the worst place I’ve ever worked. Most supervisors are garbage and micromanage you. They do not care about you or your family life and if they don’t like you for any reason they will find a way to get rid of you. They are very unorganized and schedules are inconsistent. Forced overtime and benefits are terrible. Their hiring process is easy for a reason, they hire anyone to fill spots and can get rid of you just as fast. Lots of cliques make it feel like it’s middle school and not a lot of camaraderie. If you want to go from detentions to patrol good luck. POST is part time and they will not pay or reimburse you for it. This agency plays favorites and do not recognize you for working hard only the mistakes you make. Lots of people are quitting and it’s for a reason. Please look at other agencies that will pay just as good if not better and will recognize you for the work you do.
