    Working for Off Duty Officers, Inc.

    Pros

    Working for ODO for the past couple years has been great. I have worked for other companies where they treat you like a number, but ODO treats you like a person and not a number. They care about your health and well being. They are flexible with schedules, understanding of other responsibilities ex. child care issues and will work with you to give you a schedule that fits your needs. They always pay on time, every week and plenty of opportunities for advancement. The family environment makes you feel part of something greater than yourself, part of the team.

    Cons

    Only con is located in Vista, CA, not centrally located. Although not centrally located they work with you if you need things like uniforms, patches etc. and will have it either mailed to you or a supervisor bring to you while working.

    Pros

    Flexible scheduling if you work on call or part time. Pay is usually pretty good. They have work all over California if you travel or move. They issue gift cards if you do a good job and get a compliment.

    Cons

    Sometimes it's hard to get a schedule that works for you or assignments might be far but that's because security is all based on contracts. Advancement opportunities are limited depending on where you live

    Good Afternoon, I'm sorry to hear you had a poor experience working for ODO. Contrary to this report, ODO offers the highest wages in the industry (based on averages). Pay is generally assignment specific, and we are very upfront about the offered wage. All schedules and shifts must be accepted by the employee. ODO does not issue mandatory schedules or rates for any shift. Thank you ODO Management

    You may be confusing us with another organization. ODO does not, and has never charged its employees for uniforms. Employees are welcome to provide their own uniforms if they meet our criteria, and we will provide the required insignia (patches) for the employee to install. However, uniforms are always provided free of charge upon request. Thank you, ODO Management
