Pros

The best part of the job is going in at 7am so you can leave at 3pm and still have time left in the day to get other things done during regular business hours. Ability to pursue specialized certifications or learn Spanish (for the industry).

Cons

Breaks and lunches are so strict that if you are late (even by 60 seconds) you could end up suspended or fired. Employee morale is very low. If a pass is not available you must either wait 10 min to 1 1/2 hours to use the restroom or ask permission which is not always granted. Poor lighting, poor ventilation, less opportunity for advancement then advertised.

Pros

I've been with Rapid for a little over 5 years now, and I don't see myself going anywhere else. I've gone from being a regular operations specialist to a Sonitrol specialist, a Sonitrol team leader, and now to a Sonitrol shift supervisor. My pay has almost doubled in the last five years, and my direct management are fantastic. Working in a monitoring center is not easy. There are absolutely hard days and the work isn't for everyone, but I've had nothing but support and open communication from my management. There is a strong promote-from-within culture that I love. Most people here have a history of trying multiple career paths within Rapid, and I appreciate that they foster that fluidity to help people grow.

Cons

Some things can be a little strict, like needing to clock in within 3 minutes of your start time but not being able to clock in more than 5 minutes before it, and having to adhere to sharp timeframes for breaks and lunches. Otherwise, I love it here.

Pros

Great starting pay. Guaranteed 40 hours a week plus overtime is often available. Good benefits, plus advancement opportunities. Beautiful, clean, and a very professional work environment. I personally love my work schedule! They let me pick it out upon hiring based on what was available at that time. I enjoy the work a lot! It is fast paced but you are only taking one call at a time, and once you clock out you don't have any work to worry about or take home with you.

Cons

There isn't going to be a traditional 9am-5pm schedule available for new operators. You will work weekends and Holidays. You won't work at the same desk each day. Although they always need new operators, there is a very rigorous hiring process that consisted of the Wonderlic, critical thinking assessment, a typing test, 4 interviews, and a drug and background screening. After you complete the paid training, you have an exam to take. If you don't pass this exam with at least a B then you are immediately terminated. Very structured and strict working environment. Cell phones will be locked in your locker during your shift.
