Pros

You get to work a dog, most handlers want to work and take the work seriously.

Cons

Getting paid for work you completed can be a nightmare some handlers wait months when scheduling makes a error and you don’t get paid for a shift to get fixed. Schedule can never be forecasted more then 2-3 days out impossible to make any time for family on that short suspense. Some markets you can’t live off the 26 dollars a hour. Will use your EDC as leverage when they can. Does not pay for split shifts say your a location A then move to next client at location B you’re left high and dry for that hour commute to the next post. Will let you go with a days notice with no paper trail. The problems start at the top with no real chain of command or mamnagment. Training is a joke if it wasn’t for handlers making their own connections with local LEOs it would be literally be months to years with out hitting high explosives (real odor) cons continue too many to list them all

Pros

Dream Job handing explosive detection canines

Cons

Everything else, bad hours, rude and unreasonable irresponsible upper management and scheduling is the worst of the bunch. Need to listen to handlers needs instead of just firing them as soon as they bring up a concern. I think it is important for them to keep a steady group of people on instead of just rehiring every chance they get because a person quits every single month.

Cons

Some disgruntled handlers try to poison new handlers from day one Yes, the company has growing pains and mistakes are made Decisions made by former directors and managers affect us to this day Former employees forming a Union have been sewing seeds of discontent
