Pros
You investigate civil rights violations and sometimes there’s even a legitimate claim.
Cons
The department is managed like crap. Only the State can get away with such poor management and employment law violations. They violate the same laws they investigate! Yeah. The executive staff is useless and they ignore the fact that they violate employment laws and that many staff are completely stressed. In fact, it is so bad that many staff are on stress leave. The department has been sued several times and they settle to try and hide their violations. Look up the cases, they are a good read. Management abuses the staff, over works them, and sets unrealistic demands. Rather than address the obvious employee retention issues, executive/management ignore the issues and increase staff workload to compensate for low employee retention. Anyone with a self-esteem and half a brain leaves the department and only people who tolerate abuse and hypocrisy stay. If you point out any obvious issues or critique management/executives, your career with the department is over. You will be singled out, you will never promote, and you will be picked on relentlessly.
