Pros

It looks good on a resume. Upper Mgt is experinced and easy to work with. Very laxed enviroment. Gaining experince in the security field.

Cons

To many inexpericened people with no training. To much like high school. Good deeds go unturned and employes are not reconized for going above and beyond. To much favortisum. Extreme lack of motivation from CPL's or shift supervisors. Training and Retraining for the inexpericened. To many juvinal want to be cops with egos and very little power and no experience on how to lead by example. Pay. No ability to fight for employes from Mgt, they hide behind "the contract" then tell there employes our contract is openended.

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.
