Pros

The salary is awesome and you won't find anything else in my area that pays this high

Cons

There is never ending work and management could care about much else less other than their lists and their timelines no matter how much work needs done.the balance is stressful. There is not enough time in the day to accomplish what needs done

Pros

Opportunity to serve the American public. Flexible work schedule and good salary after journeyman status is achieved. After many years you become a material expert at Title 2 or Title 16 and you will be a valued contributor who is not easily replaced.

Cons

With telework unity amongst peers is difficult to come by. If you are not able to multitask and compartmentalize workloads and priorities this would not be a suitable career field for you. The complexity of much of the work can be daunting. Your manager does not have time to micromanage your work, so you must be self driven to complete work timely and correctly.
