Cons

-overload competent employees with work from lazier ones -extremely underpaid for market value and work load -constant workplace drama due to miscommunications between departments -outdated systems and procedures that higher management refuses to improve -If working in the office, after paying for gas and other expenses, you are essentially paying the State to work there -hard to advance positions unless you know someone
