Pros

Working with dogs was enjoyable

Cons

-The training in moyock was below average compared to other K9 companies. -The pass rate is 95% because they hire a 3rd party TSA grader. -AMK9 threatens you to pay back $20,000 for training if you do not complete 1 year of your contract. -All dogs are not trained for obedience, unlike police or tsa dogs. -Most dogs do not listen and result to using methods like choking the dogs to "out" the dogs. -Low pay compared to other K9 companies. -They will hire you as part time, then continue to work you 50+ hours without benefits and $20/hours. -Underqualifed personal as management makes operation more stressful than needed. -Monthly odor trainings were ineffective, rushed and half assed every month. -Low retention and high turnover rate.

Pros

Decent pay compared to jobs elsewhere. MY boss is wonderful and takes care of the people under him.

Cons

Some other bosses at this company are…. Not as great as mine and purely focus on their own needs and ideas and not the company and other employees. The hours are awful, BUT they are very transparent that the operations are open 24/7 and the schedules will change.
