Pros

Once established, it is hard to get fired. They will move you around to other departments unless you did something illegal. Once you're in the Harris County system, you can move around easily to other departments/locations if necessary/needed.

Cons

If you work in a department that is headed by someone that was "elected" (public election), and you happen to not support their particular party, you will be re-assigned or let go because of "downsizing" or "budget cuts"

Because of the existing good ol boy system it is difficult for females to get too far upnthe ladder. Also, politucal games would place you in precarious alliances.
