Pros

Adequately compensated after 2 years on the job.

Cons

Micro-management, no concern for quality of work, just quantity. Only cadre of sycophants are promoted. You are treated like a cog in a machine. The less empathy you have, the higher you will be able to advance.

Pros

Regular pay increases based on the cost of living (if the president approves) and step increases based on time with the agency.

Cons

Staffing has become short over the years. It created a lot of stress through out the office and the entire agency.
