Pros

The people are nice, a lot of friends made. The work is challenging at times, but it has a lot of simple days.

Cons

Most supervisors are put in place to "get them off the field" There is not much room to move up, or try another title. They don't want to train or let your explorer other career paths.

Stable, chances for advancement (dependent on location), more time off the longer you stick around

Heavy red tape, Analysts may be tasked with supporting way too many needy employees from their own and other units, low morale as a result.
