Pros

Very easy to get hired if you have related previous experience or qualifications, they especially like to target military veterans or previous law enforcement experience.

Cons

Plays a shell game when it comes to pay, will only pay minimum wage during 1st week of training, tries to initially pay you with a fee riddled debit card, hours paid don't always make sense. One week I worked a $10/hr rate position for 40 hours and offered extra time at a post that earned $14 an hour. My overtime while worked at the $14/hr post was paid at the $10/hr post rate. They were taking significantly too much money out of my pay to pay towards my child support than they actually paid to the child support court.
