Pros

Connections. You meet so many people. You have access to learn how to serve the public, have access to manage large projects and really stand out in the agency. It was worth working there once.

Cons

Management changes can sometimes be unsettling if you are not used to the politics that comes with it. They start you out very low on the salary tree, depending on your qualifications and make it almost impossible to get hired at a higher grade. Grade increase rules and the forms to fill out are not like a normal job promotion and you have to fight for that position.
