Pros

Nothing much apart from a reasonable pay due to shift work.

Cons

*POOR MIDDLE MANAGEMENT *Poor Deployment policy ( always like placing officers living in the east to work in the west and vice versa) * Management's poor ability to differentiate between good n bad officers. * Middle management fondness to promote bootlickers than true hardworking officers. * Middle management uses favouritism and biased practice to manage officers instead of fair assessment. * Officers with looks (especially female) tends to have a very fast career progression without needing to much effort. * Too many bootlickers and back stabbing colleagues. * Management's don't take well to suggestion and opinions from the ground. They interpret that as a challenge to their authority n intelligence instead of taking it as a honest feedback to improve work flow. * A fair many book-smart senior officers that are actually not that impressive in their work.

Pros

- Nice colleagues (Junior officers & some Senior officers) - Good salary - Benefits are good - Shift hours not too long. (Except for night shift) - Break times are paid, ot pay also good. - No need to bring work to home. - Not stressful for non-specialist position.

Cons

- Routine & auto pilot mode. - Dirty & Filthy inside counters. - Rats, Cockroaches & lizards everywhere inside counter and lockers. - Health will deteriorate if body is not immune to unhealthy smokes (from cars/motorcycles/bus/lorries) & harmful pollution/environment. - MC will be monitored very closely. - Survival of the fittest. - Only healthy and long service officers are able to adapt to the environment (will not be judged by no. of MC's they take) - Canteen food is not hygienic and worms/cockroaches are found inside food. (Invite more vendors to work inside/within the checkpoints!) - Many officers got food poisoning from eating canteen food. (Be more hygienic if you want healthy and energetic officers!) - Favouritism - Higher management very biased - A lot of politics
