Pros

Pay is standardized, not many surprises. Job Security after 6 months if you make Civil Service. Good number of holidays. Good place to retire from, excellent retirement system.

Cons

Political atmosphere. Very active rumor mill the likes of which you have never seen. The duties you are asked to perform and if they get accomplished can be decided by elected officials who don't care if what they ask for it flat out wrong, you have to be a pro at managing expectations.

Pros

Small. Good Benefits. Basic work tasks.

Cons

hostile work environment. Since employees are protected under civil service rules this makes some employees feel entitled to not be fired and call people names and act very unprofessional. Management will sit back and not say anything. Employees are not treated equal including workload and work environment. More you work, harder you work and quicker you work means more of others work who are not willing to work.
