Pros

Secure job. Decent benefits, but diminishing as we speak. Mid-level pay for most people.

Cons

It's almost impossible to advance unless someone higher up takes an interest in you. Low turnover limits opportunity. Many people who are retiring are not being replaced. Abuses by management are overlooked. Morale is low.

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.
