Pros
Iron rice bowl. Hard to lose your job if you just follow the rules. One of the few government agencies that pays Overtime pay. Annual increment.
Cons
Annual increment is low. Salary without OT is below the current market rate. No news on any plans of a possible raise in salary to match the market average. Issues with salary (incorrect salary credited) has been ongoing since 2021 till today and has not been resolved. At least 8 years in one checkpoint. Most officers rarely stay till their next posting. No work life balance. Annual Leave is always rejected due to manpower constraints. Even after getting your leave approved, there is a chance of getting recalled to work due to manpower shortage. Forced to work OT every month without fail. MCs are closely monitored and tied to your yearly grading. Senior Management are leading the organisation like a bunch of headless chickens. They got no clue of how the operations on the ground actually works.
