N/A what can I say

Pros

Ability to switch shifts with others and get time off without actually applying for time off. I would recommend this job for those without a college degree but want a career with full benefits with opportunity to move up. You can also take the promotional exam to be a police officer and go into the academy with whatever pay you already have at 911.

Cons

MANDATORY OVERTIME WITH NO WARNING Not for those with small children though, you get mandated overtime every single week sometimes 2-3 times a week and in your first year - two years you will also be mandated to work all holidays regardless if it falls on your day off. (everything goes by seniority) Also if you succeed as a call taker but don't pass dispatching (dispatching training is a year after call taking training) you lose your job. & to come back you have to literally start the process all over.

Advice to Management

Do dispatching and call taking training together. Its not fair that people can have their job for a year and get let go because they couldn't pass the second training.
