Pros

Variety of work. Great benefits and retirement. Incoming engineers are place on a 2 year rotation program to see what different types of engineers do.

Cons

Sometimes the work is very slow. The pay is not as good as private. When completing a project it may never be used since someone else will change the plan.

Pros

Benefits, retirement, union, job security.

Cons

Run like the mafia. No promotion without connections. Promotions are merely salary increases without increased responsibilities. So many layers of well connected supervisors bully the few workers who did not have the connections to promote. Discrimination based on race and nepotism. Stressful, dead end jobs.
