      Pros

      At my post, everyone is very friendly and welcoming. It is not a hard job to do. If you have your head on straight, it is the easiest thing to do. So easy you will get bored. It will be what you make it.

      Only downside, way too much downtime. There's not a lot to do.

      Pros

      Advancement opportunities to those who work hard with good work ethic. 40 hours vacation for all employees staring at one year with some sites offering more. People willing to do be flex officers can make up to 50k a year with overtime.

      Cons

      You may have long sometimes erratic schedules. Area office staff quality is hit or miss. I got lucky with mine, but not all are created equal. You may have to work during the holidays.

      Advice to Management

      Don't burn out your officers. Try to give even the most hour hungry officers two days off in a row when possible. Let your best officers that you rely on most know it. They are rare.
