Pros

It’s a way into the industry, training is provided. For connections. There can be really strong camaraderie. The dogs are truely special.

Cons

Depending on your location, management can really suck. We were hired “part time” working 50+hs per week months on end. There is a promissory note of $20,000 for your training. To scare you into staying a full year. While pay is over minimum wage, it is based on the region you are in, and is still not a livable wage. Training with your dog is takes months, but you are left feeling unprepared when on duty. Regulations are constantly changing and company just wants the customers happy. They want you to clear cargo as quickly as possible, and encourage you to brake regulations to do so. If anyone gets caught, it will fall on the handler.

Pros

Long-term peer relationships built from trauma bonding

Cons

Limited benefits, below market pay, and more. It's difficult to see this company continue to gasp for air since at one point, things were turning the corner and positive changes were beginning to be made. The current leadership (especially in HR) is concerning. There is 0 culture. Don't speak up about mismanagement or favoritism - you will be managed out and/or placed on a PIP no matter what department you're in.
