Cushy, not held to high standards

Pros

Flexible schedule, great colleagues, good pay. Leadership seems to have integrity, for the most part.

Cons

I think if I didn't do anything for three weeks, no one would even notice. There are probably a ton of employees for whom this is true. It makes for a relaxed environment with an awesome work-life balance, but can also be depressing and not very motivating. Also very bureaucratic, but that's a given in government. Not much vacation time.

Pros

Great opportunities for promotion if you are white. Great place if your only goal in life is to get a steady paycheck.

Cons

No opportunities for promotion if you are Hispanic or African American. In the private sector, you work to help your company make money. At FHWA Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division, you work to satisfy someone's ego.
