Pros
*good pay
* over time available
* regular trainings to keep staff up to date and on the same page
Cons
*long term employees are not interested in change and don't work well on a team, that's consistent across the board for the employees that have been there 6+ years.
* Most of the staff are like sharks , attack the new fish and only looking out for them selves, very few team players. It's the old against the new it seems.
* Officers tend to flirt with the female dispatchers way to much, above and beyond comfortable levels, and 90% of them are married or already in relationships.
* They like to hire individuals who are family members of an officer or a current dispatcher vs someone who knows no one but is more qualified.
*The management staff have "favorites", policies or rules are not consistent for everyone across the board, nor is discipline.
*12+ hour shifts and only a 30 minute lunch, sometimes no break.
