Business Outlook
Pros
A wide variety of assignments available nationwide and some overseas. Diverse missions with opportunities for challenging assignments.
Cons
Cronyism prevails, the good old boys system gets promotions instead of qualifications and abilities. There are very few true professional Intelligence Officers and Analysts, most have been promoted from clerical or other fields with little to none Intelligence training or experience. At the time, I was the only career Intelligence Officer in HSI, non of the management were professional Intelligence Officers. Intelligence reports were merely history reports or regurgitation of open source news paper reporting, with little to no value at all.
