      Although its tough... I Love working for PD

      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very competitive... You have to work hard and make it through training... You definitely earn your job! The pay is good... Lots of mandatory overtime... The training is 6 weeks for call taking then after 10 months of call taking you have to pass dispatcher training. All training is paid. Overtime pay is nice. 25 years to retire... The values are courtesy professionalism and respect. Very rewarding experience! Lots of room to grow within the company...

      Cons

      Very stressful... Long Hours... If you don't pass training you are terminated. Probation is 18 mths must pass both training... Very difficult job and you must have tough skin.

      Property Manager

      As a leasing agent for two years, I then worked my way to assistant manager for t 11 months. Then, to a property manager position, nine months into my new role as manager, I was terminated, with no warning, completely unexpected. How do I explain this undeserving action and embarrassment in an upcoming interview without any risk in the decision-making of my employment with the company I am interested in? I hope I am relaying this in a way that is understood.
