Pluspunten
Always have the ability to get overtime if you're willing to work odd hours, get your TS security clearance (albeit a DoS), firearms training, DCJS security licence, understand entry control, barrier use, roaming patrols, uniform care and maintenance and timeliness
Minpunten
If you're at main state, the parking situation is atrocious. You can get held over regularly when starting out, shoes (corframs) must be worn, no alternatives and they are the worth orthopedic footwear possible, scheduling time off is a giant chore and even if you're worked something out with a supervisor, they might not pass that on to another and your time off goes away, you serve to be a body in the line of defense for the state building and your personal life is inconsequential. Your schedule gets revised 4 days before the week and may change dramatically. You must choose between health insurance or a 401k type plan for your health and welfare wages.
