Pros

It was a government job so secure.

Cons

Lack of advancement opportunities, high cost of benefits, boring, lack of work. Outdated technology and aged infrastructure made progress slow. With the 9.5% mandatory retirement withdraw and zero overtime (had to work it, just didn't get paid for it) the before tax take home was below the HUD limit for being defined as low income.
