Pros

This is, bar none, the worst job I've ever had, so whenever I think my current job stinks I need only to remember MSA.

Cons

The pay is poor, the scheduling is terrible, the dogs are food reward (this means you must train every day, you aren't reimbursed for this), the stipend covers maybe 75% of your expenses, you must transport the dog in your pov, you get the picture. I was shocked that they employ completely green handlers. Call me old school, but I believe one should work a patrol dog, narcotics, bed bug, agricultural, before being in the same room as an EDD. Any handler that's given this company even a remotely positive review has clearly never handled a dog for a proper sec firm.
