Pros

Extremely stable. No worry about being laid off. There are many places within the government where you can move if you want to.

Cons

You are just one in a thousand. I can't get cubicle walls replaced or phones fixed. You kind of just have to be ok with things being frustrating. Very difficult to innovate or change anything about how command operates.
