Vantaggi
Opportunity to become an 1811 federal agent in an agency with a diverse mission and worldwide presence. You work with, for the most part, a highly professional group of agents. You have the opportunity to find your niche and build an expertise. You are supporting and keeping safe the sailors and Marines who defend our country. Your cases can have a big impact and you deal with high level military leaders from the get go.
Svantaggi
NCIS answers to multiple "customers" and is unable to focus their identity, which is also subject to the whim of Navy leadership in regards to funding. To appease these customers, the agency has turned from human focused investigations with trust in employees to metrics and checklist based cases which answer the data calls and satisfy statisticians. Agents are pawns in the numbers game, and everyone knows pawns are the first to be sacrificed! Management, in many offices, have assumed a defensive posture and work in fear of being the next chess piece to miss the invisible mark.
