The best and most flexible agency of the federal government

Pros

Flexibility in time and management - Very hands off One of the only agencies with staff who at least know somewhat what their agency does Not appropriated so the ability for the agency to be agile in service providing is surely secure going forward Opportunities nationwide The preferable agency for private sector to speak with Training provided Pension, TSP, a solid benefits package to make up for lack of commensurate private sector pay. VPs and senior brokers at major commercial shops clear a fair bit more money, however the phenomenal stability of positions at GSA make up for this compensation to a certain degree.

Cons

The Federal Government as far as I'm aware is full of generally incompetent people who wouldn't survive in the real world. To a lesser extent, that is not exactly the case here, as if you work for GSA, the private sector prefers to deal with GSA but there is still a major skills gap. If I had to estimate, I would say that at last 30% of the job has yet to be automated, it could be smaller. Inflexible in hiring decisions, veteran's preference is a major flaw in federal hiring as the cases of successful former enlisted people is limited in scope. Bottleneck in transition from Boomers to millennials. Millennials are coming up a GS-13 level positions, Boomers unable to retire just yet, Millennials cannot backfill those jobs until they get out. Though I think this is less of a GSA problem than an economic one and maybe just more evident here.
