There's no single good answer to this question, because everyone looks for something different in a job, and environments that suit one person are horrible for someone else.

If you want to have a large number of career options, work for a large agency. If you want to be closer to the people you serve, look for a smaller outfit. Know that politics are a part of any law enforcement agency. If you can, get a sense of the politics of any agency you are thinking about joining, and see if you think you can negotiate them. If you can't, you won't be happy there.
