      Pros

      The pay is decent depending on where you live, it could definitely use a pay increase being that we have been frozen for some time. Training is pretty standard for entry level Federal Law Enfocement but will allow you to get a foot in the door for other career changes down the road. CBP has a ton of funding and there are a lot of opportunities including overseas.

      Cons

      Nepotism and cronyism kills morale. They say it does not exist but it definitely does. The work can get monotonous and boring.

      Used to be a good agency, Get started here than move to a more professional federal law enforcement agency

      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
