Pros
Creative casual (except at executive level) workforce, genuine, honest and high achieving, a kinder gentler side of working for the Fed, if you are on that side as opposed to the Trust (~30% of staff). Travel and training may be supported per your needs. Workplace culture dependent on director of each branch. Great matching retirement benefits, and generous social partner coverage on health plans but Trust has lower bargaining power for insurance plans so can be more expensive to your take-home.
Cons
Typical salaries may be competitive, but against other federal agencies may be lower (but so is the stress level from what I hear at comparable fully Fed agencies) Longevity does not generally increase your wage grade, achievement may, which is not guaranteed on Trust side as opposed to Fed. Being stuck with minimal cost of living increases over 3 years, or slow down of step increases while responsibility increases really can put a dent in your long-term income goals.
