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.

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

Fulfilling position if you love working as a handler. Great for transitioning military who may be able to use their G.I. Bill while working here. Great people with various backgrounds and experience.

Cons

No future opportunity. No desirable benefits. This is not a career and like others have said, management does not have their act together. If they truly read these reviews and made drastic changes, I believe that MSA would be an overall good company. As one of the leading companies to have EDD’s, you would expect a lot more out of them. No pay MSA has been true from the start. This job can only be a stepping stone with 0 chance for longevity if changes are not made.
