Pros

Decent starting pay, good benefits, mostly good co-workers

Cons

There is a lot more to write here. I'll be brief though. You are treated like a second class citizen. You are picked apart for the smallest error. Even ones that created no problems. Almost like "dotting i's and crossing t's" They write you up for every infraction to build ammunition to fire you ANY time they want. I have taken more abuse there then any job I have ever had. No matter how hard you work, they hold raises back until you jump through hoops. And then usually not. The management and supervisors are sneaks. Not a great quality. When you truly try to help someone, especially the elderly on medical alarms, you get written up for going above and beyond. They want you to lose the call as fast as possible, even when you can help someone. You are treated like a child, and watched like a hawk. Very two faced. They have their favorites, and everyone else can run past them in flames and they would not waste a glass of water on you. The bonuses people on here talk about are almost IMPOSSIBLE to reach. Very few people see them

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.
