Pros

Job Security. Superb pay. Flexibility with vacation time, sick time and 8hr working schedules. They have a great thrift savings (like 401K) matching plan.

Cons

The office I worked in, you could only get promoted if you were very well liked by the management staff. Not for working hard, skill or experience. The health insurance was very costly.

Pros

Generous benefits and pay. Plenty of opportunity to advance due to aging and retiring workforce. Chance to do work that directly benefits the American Public.

Cons

Frustrations of working within a large and often inefficient bureaucracy. Often have to work with outdated and obsolete technology. Very "old- timey" agency- lacking fresh and progressive ideas and solutions at times.
