      Pros

      Pay is solid, however, cost of living won't make up for living in the most expensive cities.

      Cons

      Waking up every morning and driving to work for the most corrupt agency in the federal government.

      Pros

      It was a pleasure to come to work everyday, and to work with people knowing that you are making a difference in someones life today.

      Cons

      Over the last couple of years, the company has stop giving employee raises and the concern of the wellbeing of its employees became second rate to everything else. The racial indifference and discrimination at Westminster was something carried over from the South during the Civil War.

      Pros

      The United States Secret Service has a strong dual mission of protecting world leaders and safeguarding the US financial system against counterfeit currency. Everything they do is geared towards accomplishing the job at hand. The people are first class in their dedication to their job. I am proud to say I work for the Secret Service and to be associated with these people. Another plus to working for the Secret Service is the opportunity to travel around the country and the world. The protective mission of the Secret Service offers the opportunity to see the world on the government's dime.

      Cons

      The Secret Service is going through a difficult time right now with several lawsuits files by black agents who did not feel they were promoted fairly against other white agents. The whole promotion based system for agents is not on the level and it really focuses on who you know within the agency.The lawsuits have overshadowed the fine work of many people people. There is also a tendency within the department to not deal with personnel issues. This is also a drain on morale as the people who do perform often have to make up the slack for those who do not.
