      Pros

      Nice staff. Challenging work. Intelligent culture. The SEC has become a premier federal agency in recent years and attracted top talent with the most lucrative government salaries and benefits.

      Cons

      Team building and collaboration are stifled. Management keep secrets for odd and uneccessary reasons. The regional office do majority of the work but has the least reseource support and focus. The DC office makes all the decisions from the ivory tower and often is misaligned from how the work is executed.

      Pros

      Great work-life balance, interesting cases, a lot of autonomy and responsibility, great training and resources.

      Cons

      Can be solitary, people are nice but largely keep to themselves so the environment is not very collegial. Potential for advancement and supervisory positions very limited because a lot of attorneys stay there for decades; definitely not an up or out structure. Pay is down in recent years.
