Pros

Pension plan. Some amazingly capable employees seem to keep the place effectively running despite itself. Some positions, often in the clerical arena, are very well paid compared to market.

Cons

Pay for performance is much more about the manager than your actual job performance. Mediocre management (upper and middle) and each division runs differently, so little consistency. As I've found working in government my whole career, you tend to get really good employees or really bad employees, with not much in the middle.

Pros

Really great mission. Not as cutthroat as other companies I’ve worked for. Cares about employees and structure of organization makes it a government org that doesn’t suck money for endless projects.

Cons

Pay for entry level employees feels low.
