Pros

Flex time Overtime (when available) Government benefits (i.e. time off, work/life balance)

Cons

No growth- you will be a gs-09 for a minimum of 4 years and even when you are promoted its only to a gs 10. Then you may be held at a gs-10 position for another few years before you get to gs-11 There's a ton of micromanaging going on, you are treated like school children as opposed to an adult at a job opportunities for details are limited to the favorites Honestly I'd take the job temporarily and then continue applying to other federal jobs in the interim. Look for ones that cap at a gs 11 or 12, which are a TON of jobs out there once you have your bachelors degree.

Flexible hours -- that is about the only good thing. Everyone hates working here. Its a horrible place.

Cons

Low salary, complete disarray of organization, no student loan assistant/reimbursement, no opportunities for professional growth/development, only care about production/numbers, no incentive to work hard/perform
