Pros

My coworkers were the only positive thing about this job

Cons

Everything, from lack of support from management, to the client not being held accountable for their distasteful behavior. Unprofessional management, very much a clique. Management doesn't value officers, or their outside family commitments. ZERO WORK LIFE BALANCE. They knowingly work officers past their hours that THE STATE ALLOWS, and will fire you if you leave. They use the "policies" when it suits them, or when they want to fire someone.
