Pros

The startting pay is not great but stick around a while and it gets pretty good. This depends on your location. Rural Metro varies considerably from one place to another. The fact that we are represented by a union, IAEP has made a big difference.

Cons

The bottom line focus causes poor training availability and that leads to poor morale. Lack of supplies is another downer.

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.
