Pros

Benefits. Time off. Job security. Pay is decent for the nature of the job.

Cons

Mundane work on an outdated computer system. Dealing with the public extremely challenging. SSI a nightmare to administer, constant lying and having to play detective with beneficiaries. Tons of paperwork.

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Flexible schedule. Paid holidays and you accrue sick and annual leave. Get to help people that need it. Great co-workers and office managers.

Cons

Many people you deal with are in rough parts of their life. Interviewing them multiple times a day, day after day has a tendency to start to bring you down and effect you if you let it. Lots of government red tape and bureaucracy.
