No promotion ever

Pros

Hard to think about when a person sees others promoted but not themself

Cons

Someone else gets assigned the duties, but they get paid more to do the same duties, because they were duties for a higher paid classification in the first place.

Pros

Steady paycheck, low pressure, ok advancement potential, defined duties and responsibilities. If you just want to slide through life, this is the place for you.

Cons

A typical politically correct public agency. If you are an in the box herd thinker welcome to your cubical feedlot. Prepare to get fat and stupid and then retire after 30 years.
