Pros

Flexible schedules; challenging work if you choose to engage. Average to hard workers stand out for recognition admist the too many slackers that are tolerated.

Cons

Unions run the show in the current administration and they seek to protect the lowest common denominator. The flavor of the monthis embraced by senior management with unquestioning vigor. Turf protection and CYA too much a part of the culture. Too many "back office" staff controlling and draining resouces from mission related work. There are a lot of lawyers in this office, and many of them prefer not to do legal work.

Pros

Work-life balance, respect of superiors and colleagues, sometimes you still get to further the mission.

Cons

Most of the time the administration slows down progress on projects and cases. Morale is at an all-time low.
