      Business Outlook

      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 Often have to work with outdated and obsolete technology.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.

      No autonomy, top down organization with regards to decision making, breed puppets not action takers
