Pros

Flexible work schedule, great location, great pay, nice Thrift Savings Plan (retirement) with matching up to 5%, right now (2011 and forward) is a great time to join - many opportunities for moving up quickly.

Cons

If you are at all comfortable with a computer or MS Office, you will be considered the resident expert and may be asked to help others and work on special projects -- on the plus side, this is noticed and will help you move up as well.
