US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Reviews

Pros

Salary, benefits, work, the people

Cons

Bureaucracy is typical, lots of paperwork

Pros

I have managed the same team for 13 years. I report to DC

Cons

DC is full of entitled people who don’t know what leadership means

Pros

High graded jobs -- get paid GS 14 pay to do clerical work

Cons

good ol boy system has gotten worse under Trump. Managers are incompetent and uncaring. Play dumb and say yes and you will get promoted quickly. The public hates ICE as much as the employees do, so there is a personal risk working here.

Pros

Numerous different fields of investigations, money laundering, cyber, intellectual property rights, human trafficking, drugs, just to name a few. You're not just stuck investigating the same thing your whole career

Cons

Budget is always an issue, bed space for the Immigration side of the house always take priority.

Pros

Pros were job security, decent salary, and benefits that are being cut. In a post furlough atmosphere, we're just pawns.

Cons

Constant change and chaos. Very little promotion chances beyond the GS 12 unless you're a friend or relative of a Section Chief.

Pros

You get to travel the world, pay is good, raises are almost guaranteed

Cons

Management is politically corrupt. Promotions and specialty positions given to political allies.
