Pros
Thanks to Governor Nathan Deal, the troopers are receiving great pay. However, secretaries and dispatchers are left at a very low salary. Take home patrol car. Great training. No roll calls before shift, although you have monthly inspections.
Cons
Can and WILL be assigned to any post in the state, doesn't matter where you live. Must respond to every disaster statewide, sometimes responding to other states that are under a declared emergency. Most supervisors are sucking up to command and will throw you under the bus at the drop of a dime. Pursuits are becoming frowned upon by the agency. On-call many nights of the month. You will work every holiday, including the days surrounding (travel days). You are told to make traffic stops, arrest DUIs, investigate crash scenes to meet a monthly quota. If you are lacking in one, it doesn't matter how many of the others you make, they will come down on you. You have to be friends with the 'right' people to be accepted. Very few spots available for promotion. Will be sent to every protest in the state. Be prepared to be placed on "Phase A", where troopers are told to remain close to their patrol cars during off days so that you can respond to any incident ASAP. If you are disciplined, you are not afforded an appeal process until the agency proposes an adverse action (suspension without pay, demotion, termination) - Even then, the appeal is made to the same people that propose the action.
