U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

Only good thing about this job was my supervisor. We'll get that straitened out right away.
Other than that, WORST place to ever be employed while receiving benefits. Even the benefits aren't that great.
Where to start.. 
Firstly I worked in Laundry Dept. Horrible! no room for job advancement. stressful amount of work and labor in a stressful environment. TOO much work demand. Pay was 9.00/hr. with no overtime and no raises. EVER. Supervisor in Laundry was very friendly and fair, no complaints about her.
Second, poor management from administration. You work for a warden who makes you question whether policies are being followed. Has little to no experience working with people on a communicative level. False promises and vengeful backlash is usually the vibe you get from admin+warden.
Third, Any department outside laundry is just as bad, if not worse! Security (Corrections) Do not even try!
Unless you are willing to be pushed around, given a no work-life balance, too much mandated overtime, favoritism. Holidays, weekends you name it there is so much work. Pay is 18.00/hr but you pay more in taxes end of the pay period. And if being enclosed in a four wall facility with no windows babysitting grown a** men is your kind of thing, then go for it you'll love it here. 
Forth, people here drop like flies left and right. Quits, no shows and resignations are very common and seen on a weekly basis. That should tell you something. 
Last, If you think for a minute I am being petty and sour, you're absolutely right. Who wouldn't be after working here! 
You're better off cleaning road kill on the way to Otero and getting paid for it, then work there. You'll find it more appealing !

I've been at the Otero County Processing Center for almost ten years and have enjoyed working there. I left Washington State and was Associate Pastor for many churches and worked with many youth groups to help encourage their spiritual growth. I came here because of my son who was the kitchen supervisor working at the Processing Center encouraging detainees and or illegal immigrants to better themselves to do the right thing and to pass it on to their children's Otero County Processing giving me so many opportunities to help men in their spiritual walk and their lives. I have enjoyed all of the years ( ten) while being a part of its family.

Great place to work!

 I took a higher position working for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.  I truly enjoy working for ICE while assigned to ICE' Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).  What can I say, ICE ERO is truly an amazing place to work.  The most enjoyable part of the job is everything. The people, the managers, the vision and mission.....  Overall, a great place to work.  
From all of the places and career changes in the past years, I have to say that people are the most valuable assets that an organization may have.  I truly value all of the years of working for the U.S. Government.

You come to work get your work and do what is expected of you and you will never have any issues.

Early in my career there were lots of travel opportunities which were great, but they slowed down considerably in the last 10 years.  Pay was good, there are numerous opportunities to do all types of enforcement work from working in the field to more sedate office work. my experiences with management varied from great to poor, time always changed things so patience pays off if it isn't good it will eventually change.

ICE was formed following the 9/11 attack on the United States. Former US Customs investigators and INS officers are tasked with a huge body of enforcement and investigative responsibilities. The two major divisions have experience significant change management challenges since the agency was established. The workforce, howeverk, is dedicated and extremely experienced.

Perform physicals on detainees entering into facility (logging into system for chronic care,         continued medications and follow up appointments). Perform pill pass throughout dorm facility,       perform lab work on scheduled detainees and diabetic checks. Wound care assessments and       cleanings on scheduled detainees along with entering changes to detainees current medications   and or status per Dr. Orders.  I enjoy working in an environment were we all work together to get the job done
