Pros

- Department has influence due to Secretary of State and current poor state of economy - Having come through downsizing and restructuring, there are job and promotion opportunities - Some good people

Cons

- General civil service problems of pay freezes, pension cuts, etc. - Civil service is the whipping boy for the media and politicians - BIS staff not generally passionate about what they do - Some dead wood in senior positions - Pretend to value 'empowerment' but really expect managers to watch 100% of what you do
