Hi Everyone,
I tried searching around but couldn't find much info. I have a cousin that is in the process of pursuing a job as a CBPO. He took the exam and and is now getting emails to schedule his medical and background investigation, etc. He is looking at giving up a great job to pursue so I thought I would ask some questions that he doesn't seem to want to ask:
1. The pay- It looks like he would start somewhere in the $40k area according to the job posting but people online say he will make much more than that when you factor in cost of living, nights, OT, etc. Is that the case? I think he would start at a GS5 level
2. The academy - What is it like? I have heard that its similar to police academy but without all the head games and ball busting.
3. What is the job like? he would be in Boston
4. Are there any great perks to being a Fed LEO
Thanks for any responses
