Pros

Unless you really screw up, you can't get fired. You'll also never be laid off. Earn overtime for working protection. After 20 years, you'll be eligible for a pension.

Cons

Management is a disaster, top to bottom. Promotion is not based on merit, it's more about not rocking the boat. You get paid overtime, but you'll work it, and hours are longer than any other in the government. Pension is nice but pales in comparison to state/local police pensions.

Pros

Travel, the people you meet, the history you get to see, gun carrying privileges.

Cons

Most asinine management I’ve ever seen, terrible scheduling, zero life outside of work, zero family life, you’re treated like a number
