Pros

24 hour shifts.... For now but on a daily basis they threaten to get rid of this and go to 12 hour shifts. That would be a pay cut of 40%. Literally putting me in poverty. Making just about 20k a year

Cons

Pay, management always treating to write you up, being told your disposal on a weekly basis, constant move up to cover area that they won't staff, not enough units, each dispatchers makes up own move up plan, no accountability for dispatchers, getting held over on a regular basis, moral at a all time low. And when I like its at the bottom, well the next week it just gets worse. Managers will follow you around in their private cars just to try and catch you doing something wrong, this has turned into a temporary job, people quit or walk out on a daily basis, 70% of the company has less then two years with the company. After working here 8 years, I know make less then I did when I started. Haven't gotten a raise in forever. No hires make almost the same as people with 10+ years experience. Please for the love of God, go work anywhere else. It's not worth the stress and aggravation.

Pros

Straightforward with their expectations of you leading up and going into the academy.

Cons

There is no room for error. If you’re not in good physical condition and think you’ll improve while in the academy you’re wrong. You need to already be in good shape or they will run you ragged for it. It’s either you’re ready or you’re not and if you’re not then they will make it as miserable as possible to test you and either you quit or they fire you.
