Pros

Great pay, benefits, and retirement options could be an improvement for many people. Lots of opportunity to find a place in the organization if your first landing spot isn't correct.

Cons

Organization seems to promote those with "yes-men/yes-women' mentality, conforming to a single role within the org. This can often be outside what the national leadership Captain/Admiral has dictated as their directive. A small leader can interject in-between that they will not follow the directives of that leader which will lead to complications for employees and their families. Often, I found there was lack of input from the employee side, no opportunity to represent yourself in a conversation, things were based on "leaders" pre-conceived notions as opposed to asking for your position prior to a weigh and measure.

Pros

Serve the military directly, get to work on special projects that impact the world you live in. The military appreciates the work the civilians do.

Cons

Less pay because your a federal employee, it’s very difficult to live in DC if your single. Also nepotism is an issue I’ve heard and seen firsthand. The procedures are not documented well so it is hard to get the work done.
