Pros

I got a pay check. But the sad part is it wasn't even enough to cover the very basic cost of living expenses, room, food, gas. Let alone any pleasure activities.

Cons

Management was very poor. They had no communication between one another. They would be advised of potential issues and just look the other way hoping they would resolve on their own. Work environment and moral was very very low management knew it and didn't care. We would usually get off 2 and 3 hrs late, rarely received our state mandated meal breaks, and would be asked to falsify documents in order for them to bill Medi-cal and Medicare for more money.

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.
