Pros

Good pay, good benefits, nice gym family friendly job, pretty much work 8 hours a day

Cons

Not willing to pay for things like master's degrees with the exception of the survey methodology program Work is very, very, very boring-a lot of people say this. Work comes in cycles, when there is no work, there is nothing to do and if you ask management for something to do they will give you a cold blank stare. I really do not recommend this job for a young person straight out of college for that reason. Everyone around me facebook surfs all day and you really can't blame them. Cafeteria food options are terrible and expensive. I swear it looks like they just make the most random recipes with ingredients that do NOT go together. Many of the managers are smart book wise but are terrible at management.

Pros

Worthwhile work to benefit the city you are working in. Most everyone I worked with was pretty nice and willing to lend a hand if needed. But I feel like I saw the other side of how upper management treats people they don't like as much and i saw aspects that weren't as good through upper managements treatment of others.

Cons

Constantly changing directives from upper management. And they don't have your back when you get questioned why you followed the most recent order from your boss. Inconsistent pay scales by position. Pay varies by location. But they don't adjust it upward. If you hire on in a city that pays less, you don't get a bump if you stay with the company and work in a new city that pays better in your next assignment. Meaning new hires with no experience can easily make more than you because they started in the city that pays more. One of my best employees was paid the least. I felt bad and tried to get their rate adjusted with no luck. It very much has the vibe of they are figuring out things as they go, The department is grossly understaffed. Technology is lacking creating inefficiencies.
