Pros

Upper levels of the company are filled with a lot of law enforcement experience. This gives you the opportunity to learn from a lot of experienced industry professionals.

Cons

The hours are awful, the morale is awful, and the working conditions are even worse. The retention rate is extremely low for a reason, they do not treat their employees well. Most of the managers are only looking out for themselves and have no interest in the people they are supposed to manage. One manager tells you one thing, a second manager tells you another, and the third manager tells you a third thing.

Pros

Laid back environment, The agency is well known for its law enforcement expertise and family environment.

Cons

Some department favor other department. The CFO and managers run, hide and save themselves because they lack of doing they're own work. The work is tedious no movement forward. Management lacks. Politics in the agency Is well known for being immature and unprofessional. I can go on...
