Pros
RISP can be a great place if you are good friends with the right people. Like everything else in RI government, it's about who you know. But anyone worth working for retires the second their pension is ready.
Cons
For the most part, the agency couldn't care less for civilian employees. Civilians are referred to as "JACs" (Just another civilian). They will have no problem using you as a scapegoat to protect their pension if needed.

Pros
Stable job. A lot of opportunities to work overtime because they are not adequately staffed.
Cons
If you like a place that is stuck in the "old ways" with the "that's always how we've done it mentality", then this is the place for you. The management is poorly run and will say they have your back or trust you, but the first chance most supervisors get they will stick it to you because that is the "state police way". You have to rule with an iron fist to show the upper command staff you know how to "take care of your guys."
