Pros
If you're looking to move into Law Enforcement, this company is excellent for training, if you can make it to patrol. If you have 1/4 of a brain and can write your name, you can. Great for learning your PC's and 10codes as well as proper procedures for traffic stops and some forms of room entries.
Cons
Unless you're related to the owner, don't expect to make more than $13/hr, even after working there for 3 years. When it comes time to cut corners or business expenses, the employees are the first to see the cut. Minimum wage goes up, the employees won't see a pay raise, just on the lower end... those making min. wage. New vehicles, flashy technology, anything that is seen by the public is where the money is dumped in to. You'll receive a pat on the back and told "job well done" occasionally as well as the usual "We truly value our employees, you're the reason we're so successful" but it's never backed by anything monetary. Management believes all employees will be happy with a BBQ or an annual event (which less and less employees show up to every year) as an appropriate means of thanking the employees, then expect you to jump and go with full effort for sub standard pay. 7 - 8 hour turn arounds in between shifts are common. The medical benefits are a joke and are only there because the government requires it. Employees are viewed as tools or robots and even after officers falling asleep behind the wheel from frequent shift changes, nothing has been changed to rectify this; just more lip service. Stable schedules NEVER happen and are frequently changed due to the company's inability to hold on to new employees. Frequently under staffed all while picking up new contracts while being unable to fully fulfill the obligations of current contracts. This, in turn, leads to work weeks of 50+ hours and days off frequently changing at the last minute. Long story short, lots and lots of lip service, little to no action on the upper end.
