Pros

It's a government job so great hours and ability for time off. You work a very diverse group of people, to include coworkers and customers.

Cons

Not ideal for someone that's attempting for go to school as well, unless you absorb everything the first time told.

Pros

Great job security in Baltimore headquarters (keep your credit &a legal record clean, especially during probation); flex-time & alternate work schedule for most positions; federal benefit package is still great.

Cons

Some jobs are by their nature repetitive and boring; long training classes for certain jobs are stressful. Constant fed bashing from Fox News & other media outlets hurts morale and pressures congress & President to cut pay/benefits, as happened recently with multi-year federal pay freeze. SSA jobs at Baltimore headquarters are ranked at lower GS grade levels than equivalent positions with other federal agencies in/around DC.
