Pros
Multi-million dollar projects to save taxpayer money Lots of activities to do (Eg. Pilot Classes, Intramurals) Competitive pay compared to private sector Flexible work schedule (You can take every other Friday off, as long as you work 40 hrs/week) Rarely work over 40 hours/week and rarely work on weekends Great benefits (13-26 vacation days based on experience and 10 federal holidays) Best job security Good development program for College Graduates to gain experience rapidly in their ESDP or NADP program (Go from GS-7 to GS-12 in 2.5 years or 3 years)
Cons
Not recommended for people, who like fast-paced environment Location is not for everyone, but I personally don't mind it Don't expect to become a director and make $200+K/yr, when working in government
