Pros
Good pay with the overtime; good job security not particularly dangerous for a law enforcement job. Very hard to get fired unless you do something really egregious or illegal; or fail a drug test. Journeyman GS-12.
Cons
Mandatory overtime with no regard for your personal life or family life. You get up to 5 weeks vacation but they steal it from you anyway by forcing you to call in sick to get a day off - so after you burn up your sick leave you use up annual leave then take leave without pay. Frequent payroll errors never in your favor: You have to check your hours worked against your earning and leave statements. They mess them up constantly, making you chase your money.

Pros
Good pay, good benefits, plenty of down time. There are a lot of like minded individuals which builds esprit de corps and makes friendships great.
Cons
No mobility. Limited upward potential. Bi-polar management from the top down. Extremely politicized environment with little guidance or continuous focus on any particular mission.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good pay, the job is thought provoking! Immigration changes constantly .. You are forever learning new things!!!
Cons
Hard to balance family life. If you take the job in another state it's really hard to move around if your port is not a desirable port.

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.
