Pros

It is the federal government. The benefits are good the pay is definitely not bad, but each agency has its pros and cons. This agency has a 59 minute Liberty system so that they will let you out almost an hour early before holidays, sometimes. They also offer telework.

Cons

The agency uses Scare Tactics and focuses on publicly calling attention to the prosecution of officers that have broken the rules. There is a weirdly negative undertone to many of the guidelines they want staff to follow. The agency prioritises the issues and needs of their direct law enforcement staff above all other staff. They are still not treated too well. They refuse to allow several of the veterans here to use their GI bill education benefits while employed. The training for this position is very intense as well, if you fail any of the eight exams more then once...You lose your job .
