Pros

Social Security is a very stable organization with locations all over the country. There is a lot of opportunity for advancement, although moves may be necessary. The work is extremely challenging and much more difficult than one might think.

Cons

Regulations are constantly changing so you must read and research new policies. You must be able to manage time extremely well, and with a smile.
