Pros

NPS is committed to protecting and preserving some of America's most unique cultural and natural resources.

Cons

The government in general pays less than private sector, no matter what politicians would want you to believe. I've been a GS-11 for 20 years, despite superior reviews and several awards. They'll chew you up and spit you out if you allow it.
