Minpunten
I am not so disillusioned as to think that this is the only employer that has a work culture like this in the world, it is simply the one I am currently in. Also, as a state agency, it is appalling to witness what I have over the several years of my employment. I had no background with police in any way, shape, or form before beginning my work for ISP. That being said, I had a pretty neutral view of Police, and a pretty healthy respect for officers. All of that has changed since working for ISP. The disrespect that civilian employees face everyday is absolutely unacceptable. This institution needs to change. The change over rate for civilian employees is so high because anyone with half a brain gets out as soon as they can. I have been trying to find a new position for years. You are constantly treated as field support no matter what your background, education, or job title. You are expected to bow and scrap in front of Troopers, and especially upper administration. Any complaints or criticism is quickly hushed and dismissed. I truly could go on and on about the treatment of civilian employees but it would take too long. I will say that my faith in law enforcement officers is zero to none and that I pray I am never in need of ISP assistance.
