Pros

Liked working with my EDC, work was good and generally a nice group of guys to work with.

Cons

Scheduling dept a bit clueless, management in Ops out to lunch, and payroll dept quite uncaring. There is a culture of complaining among the older guys. Negativity from inflexible coworkers.

Pros

There are no PROs to this job.

Cons

This company lies to their clients! Dogs are cute but not breed for working. HR is a joke and thinks they can run everything under New York Law. They make you download an app on your own personal phone and use your own GPS to track you. The company is currently facing several lawsuits from around the country. This could be the end of this jacked up company.

Pros

Working an Explosive Detection Canine. Learning a new way to handle a canine from what I was previously used to . Compensation is good as a handler. The deployed guys make above average and the stateside guys make a fair wage for the work.

Cons

The monthly stipend- the type of canine the company deploys requires daily training. That said, I had to travel to different locations to get in the amount of training required to remain proficient. The very small monthly stipend didn't come close to covering my expenses or time. But honestly if I got into Canine to get rich I would need to find a different job I suppose. Communication was not very good between handlers and management. Scheduling was very- very lax. By the time you get scheduled to do something it was virtually the very next day they needed it which is difficult at times. If you ever leave MSA, you're screwed. This is the oddest thing actually- regardless of the reason(s)- it is very difficult to get back on with the company for those of us who didn't leave on bad terms or who would want to. Lastly, the one things that really bothered me, is they hold the dog over the handlers head. It is treated like a piece of equipment rather than what it is- a bonded living breathing animal and it just back in rotation like all the others and that is sad.
