Pros

The job has some flexibility in shift, mostly when you start/leave. Usually during the day. The people are generally nice, intelligent, and willing to help if you have a question. Programs are pretty straightforward. Training is pretty good.

Cons

Massively regulated when you are there. Deviation of more than a few minutes from the schedule given to you at the end of the previous week often requires an e-mail to your manager. Lots of information to try to remember, or remember where it is. Programs sometimes fail, requiring you to default to the DOS-style interface for the server program, which is not intuitive at all. You are trained on the old system, but little chance to keep refreshing that knowledge, since use of several tools is required. Career advancement takes a long time unless you are perfect all the time, and even then it depends on the budget, which can change drastically.

Pros

Benefits and security definitely plus the commute is fantastic. obviously I should have decent pay because I have been there over 17 years now. The credit union there has been a life saver and helped me out tremendously also!

Cons

Definitely that the job I feel is not structured or organized well. The way things are done makes it hard for employees to get to know their job in my department Accounts Management especially because there are too many different things we are expected to do with no adequate training. Also hard for employees to have a lot of morale because of Congress cutting budget for so many years now and with so many pay freezes recently.
