Pros

Living in some of the most beautiful, scenic, wonderful places in the country.

Cons

It is really hard to move pass GS 5, and unfortunately that is not a livable wage. In certain regions, you need to be careful disclosing you are a federal park ranger because some locals disapprove of NPS. Another thing is being tied to Congress, for example the government shut down.
