I did not meet anyone in dispatch that even came close to presenting a personality that I could accept. They all gave the impression that they could care less about anything I had to say. If you can put up with them not caring one bit about you and talking to you like you are nothing but trash then go for it. In my 55 years on this planet and also being retired military I have never been as disrespected as I was there. I would highly recommend re-thinking it over.
