Pros

Ridiculously easy to get hired. Can wear any attire as there is absolutely no professionalism.

Cons

Culture that values age and time in agency over any professional degree. Shames recent college graduates. ~80% of management is compromise of trashy elderly teen moms who do not value college graduates and brag about all the kids they had by the time we were graduating from college. Federal benefits that must be negotiated with hr over a 1-800 number that is almost never available. Taxpayers are greatly under served because of the poor policies employed.

Pros

Very flexible schedule, great training, "face time" with top execs from Fortune 500 companies, tons of opportunity (if you are VERY patient), smart and hard working co-workers, work is meaningful and impactful, AWESOME PAY!

Cons

Very slow to adapt to what occurring in industry, does not embrace technology, merits are based on seniority (# of years of service), public hates you, very specific area and do not get a broad experience of accounting (if a new grad that's never worked anywhere else), slow advancement and/or the opportunities that would prep you to advance, some jaded co-workers, you are at the beck and call of the taxpayer and politicians, after a while the pay isn't comparable to working in industry for the same amount of time.
