Pros

Smart funny fellow employees, decent benefits, interesting work, decent pay.

Cons

Dangerous case work, TIGTA, RRA98, TAO, Appeals.People hate you at parties and always want to tell you about some horror story, your CCW is not honored by the agency. The agency won't fight for you to have confidential plates, the worst most incompetent employees often are the only ones crazy enough to apply for management, there are exceptions to this but with the terrible structure a Grade 12 RO can make more that a Grade 13 manager due to travel/per diem. The job is very stressful.
