Pros

You don’t work the gates much anymore since 2025 but obviously subject to change.

Cons

They will refuse to promote GS-5’s after a year with no end in sight. If you want a GS-7 you have to take on two other roles, armory and the Desk (dispatch). You have to train and test on both. They will put you on those positions.

Pros

Great culture and projects. Work life balance is fantastic. If you have a family or want to start a family its a great place to work.

Cons

Biggest problem is the compensation. Contractors typically pay 20% more for the same level of work.
