Poor communication, hazardous work environment and very unprofessional colleagues.

Pros

It is a paycheck- if you need one. Good part time job, but not something for a real career. It doesn't really pay a living wage.

Cons

Supervisors are retired cops, who are unprofessional and unfair to set up their employees for failure. Work environments are extremely hazardous. No saftey equipment for officers who have to do their patrols. Forget about career advancements- below adverage pay. Apopka, FL
