              Pros

              - Pay and benefits. - Interaction with diverse cultures and people. - THE DANGER!!! WHAT A RUSH!!! - Satisfaction of helping others. - Every day is different even if your assignment is not.

              Cons

              - Politics !!!! - 3/12 shifts can be brutal. Especially if you live outside of city limits and commute to work. - Management "eats it's own". Job security not a sure thing; especially if you don't kiss ass.

                Pros

                Can workout on duty, lots of downtime, Pay is good for the amount of work and the hours. Stress levels are low. Law enforcement job with 100% job security

                Cons

                No real room for growth or promotion, Job task are limited, Many lazy people fall through the cracks and get complacent. LAPD politics makes the job more difficult than necessary.

                      Interesting job with great benefits and good pay.

                      Cons

                      Do not expect to be able to able to freely think outside the box. You will be expected to adhere to strict protocols, some of which are a bit antiquated. Technology within this field is changing very rapidly, and while the newer employees appear to embrace this change, management tends to resist it.

                        The only pro is the benefits and pay.

                        Too much overtime, supervisors try to avoid doing work. horrible place to work.

                      Any genuinely good way to answer the "biggest weakness" question without sounding like a cliche. Anyone have any good examples?

                      Travel Specialist

                      I interview with this place about a week and a half ago. I think it went well and in the interview she said the next step would be a writing example, so I did that. Sent it to them the day it was due and haven't heard back since. She did say any next steps would be after thanksgiving since everyone was busy and their calendars full last week. I followed up on Monday with an email, but haven't heard back. Maybe it's taking awhile or should I try again end of week? I would at least like feedback.
