Pros

You have a lot of responsibilities and a great resume builder for skills.

Cons

Not enough full time employees, the company runs from the top down with not enough bodies to fill positions. The company continues to not fill positions and consolidate positions rather than hire additional staff to ease the work load of current employees. Employee retention is horrible, there anti-labor stance shows with every step they take to minimize salaries for middle management and fill the pockets of senior management.

Pros

Straightforward with their expectations of you leading up and going into the academy.

Cons

There is no room for error. If you’re not in good physical condition and think you’ll improve while in the academy you’re wrong. You need to already be in good shape or they will run you ragged for it. It’s either you’re ready or you’re not and if you’re not then they will make it as miserable as possible to test you and either you quit or they fire you.
