Business Support - Anonymous employee Oregon Patrol Service Employee Review

The group of officers seem to be good.

Big turn over, lack of trust with ownership.

If you have a pulse and your DPSST card, you'll get hired. If you enjoy working overtime, there's plenty of overtime to be had. The pay is on the lower end, but decent compared to other local companies. Lots of opportunities if you're interested in court security, hotel security, vehicle patrol, bank security, etc.

The scheduling makes absolutely zero sense - you will work day shift one day, night shift the next, followed by another day shift. Your days off are completely random and change every week; not to mention you get your schedule 1-2 days before the week starts. The uniforms are very cheap and fall apart very easily. The turnover is the highest in the metro area, so be prepared for last minute schedule changes and to come in early/stay late. No real benefits.
