Pros
The pay is decent with reasonable benefits. I have worked with a few employees who are not completely useless and political, but not many.
Cons
A bloated and useless staff of incompetent seat fillers. The lack of knowledge here is mind-numbing. Basic business skills are completely lacking. Unorganized, unethical and utterly lazy. There are an unconscionable number of employees who spend more time and effort looking for ways to not work than to actually work. And where is management? Too busy either brown-nosing or looking to hire more contractors/consultants because they were convinced their department is short-staffed. The red tape makes one think they work for the government. And please don't try and make things better, it's not going to happen.
