Pros

Work with some amazing dogs, If you are new to the industry, learn some new skills, Strong community

Cons

The regulations are constantly changing. The company doesn't care about you or your dog. If your dog is having problems, good luck getting help. They don't want you to do your job, just clear the cargo as quickly as possible, and don't let TSA catch you in an audit. The company is filled with a boys club. They will work you as hard as possible for as many hours as they can get away with. I was working 50-hour weeks, some overnight shifts that were over 15 hours. Only still only hired part-time. They threaten you with a contract, Claiming you'll have to pay $20,000 for their training costs. But their training leaves you very unprepared, and you are left alone at the warehouses. Many Handlers become afraid to leave because of their attachment to their dog.

Pros

Long-term peer relationships built from trauma bonding

Cons

Limited benefits, below market pay, and more. It's difficult to see this company continue to gasp for air since at one point, things were turning the corner and positive changes were beginning to be made. The current leadership (especially in HR) is concerning. There is 0 culture. Don't speak up about mismanagement or favoritism - you will be managed out and/or placed on a PIP no matter what department you're in.
