Pros

They loan you a dog.

Cons

Too many to express in words.. This job SOUNDS great. Get to work with a dog, and go to cool events. For the most part, you will be begging for work. When you do actually get work you will be required to drive hours (on your own dime) to get to the venue. Once you arrive at said venue, you will be treated like a low level/minimum wage security guard. The handlers at this company are extremely disgruntled. In fact, finding an employee that isn't completely disgusted with management and the day-to-day operations of the company, is essentially impossible. The company is in the process of losing a law suit brought on by nearly all current and former employees for mis treats ent and underpay. Do not be fooled by cute dog and the flashy promises. Run.

Can you tell me something interesting about explosives? You're hired!

Pros

Good, flat pay Interview likely involves 0-1 questions and you're hired on the spot. I held the most important position at my location and the only question I was asked was to explain "something interesting about explosives." Easy work. You might get a nice jacket, 2 polos and 2 khakis if you complain hard and long enough. You're most likely to get whatever sizes they have in stock and to wait months for the next shipment. The polos are poor quality, so don't look forward to that too much.

Cons

There is no compensation for emergencies: hotels, parking, you name it. If you've got to show up at a certain time you've got to show up, or you're likely fired. You're likely to be vilified if you have liberal views. Because people have little to nothing to do, and the company doesn't provide a reason for good work(bonuses, benefits, pep talks, nothing), you can expect a quality of work that is in line with the fast food industry. Don't work for MSA if you have pride in your work, lest you're spoiled. Benefits are non existent. You're working here because it's easy, good money. Period. They like to hire retired cops exclusively, but sometimes they'll pander to military veterans. Don't talk to HR. You'll be singled out and fired at the next opportunity. Talk to your friends at the job, instead. Want to branch out to one of MSA's numerous other job opportunities? Good luck, I've only seen people who are waiting on their 'applications,' which amount to e-mails back and forth with someone you hope can hook you up. Someone's got to take your current position first.
