Pros

High Salary. Great Benefits. Non competitive advancement to GS-12. No education requirements for Supervisors. Job Security. The academy is really easy and no physical requirements once in the field. Being overweight/ out of shape is perfectly normal. Get paid to do absolutely nothing some days.

Cons

Incompetent Supervisors that advanced through the ranks by the agency's growth. Redundant training. Since, nobody really gets fired if someone gets in trouble or messes up they usually end up being a supervisor. Mindless repetitive work. Health and Physical fitness is not a priority. Hiring process is very long.

Pros

The pay is good with a lot of overtime but that's about it.

Cons

With much overtime comes no life. Little actual law enforcement. Sitting at work day in and day out watching many law breakers go about their day due to little to no enforcement. Basically TSA with a gun Biggest con is most southern border port of entries(where CBP does most hiring) are by far some of the worst places to live in the country.
