Pros

Great experience in a fast paced environment. Lots of training opportunities. Decent pay.

Cons

So much workplace drama. Employees are so lazy and complain all the time (in all 6 branches I've worked in) They let anyone work here...even people who should never be in public service and don't fire anyone when they clearly need to be. Use this employer as a stepping stone.
