Pros

It's a government job so average consistent pay, paid overtime, federal holidays and stability

Cons

Tons of Micromanagement: If you are late from lunch by 5 mins, please have an excuse because the manager's job is to sit there and notice. The bathroom trick usually work. Yes you can build up tons of vacation but management hates it when you use it. They will hold it against you when it comes to promotions. Promotions only makes sense half of the time. 50% of the people promoted are usually worthy and suffered for 8-10 years. The other half is because their family member is an executive employee, they are part of the clique, they laugh at management's asinine jokes or they apply as an outside applicant for the promotion position. This agency constantly give promotions to people who just walk through the door a year ago and tell everyone else to continue working and be happy you are at a government job. Unless you come to this agency as a GS-11 or have connections here do not bother. This place is not for you. You have a slight chance if you are good at the job but then you have to wait until the people before move from those positions.
