Pros

Good agents who really want to defend our nation work there

Cons

Zero leadership. Chief of the Border Patrol bows to the commissioner of CBP. Constant threats of cutting agents pay. You stress every year because Customs and Border Protection finds another way to demoralize agents by taking a percentage of pay. Agency spends billions on stuff it doesn't need like forward operating bases, which the agents have to man on weeks on end. Frivolous spending on ridiculous agent manned camps that agents are forced to work while simultaneously claiming agents there is no money to pay the agents. Start work here, than move to a professional law enforcement agency
