Pros

Flexible schedule Federal holidays Short commute Some people think NASA is cool

Cons

Always at risk of closing Work is dull and often unimportant Pay is not competitive with industry Beaurocratic castles exist solely for employment Multiple unnecessary levels of control Plain political party biases of managers Project work is unreliable, resulting in layoffs Ever present deadly hazardous chemicals Union workers nap on the job Few opportunities to advance Problems often ignored or waived Few real opportunities to have a real impact on space Poor financial management integrity Glass ceilings send experience elsewhere Inexperienced workforce Competition for work with other NASA centers NASA is becoming obsolete
