Pros

Typical government perks like flex-time and telework options. I get to work on high-level policy decisions, which keeps things interesting.

Cons

I've encountered too many people who seem to consider protecting their turf their number one goal, which makes it difficult to get things done or collaborate effectively. The paperwork requirements are a bit ridiculous.

Pros

Excellent job to have while raising a family. Maxi-flex schedule (9 on, 1 off) is very helpful for doctor appointments to not use up sick time.

Cons

Under hiring freezes, oftentimes working understaffed to meet numerous program details.

Good retirement benefits. Very flexible leave usage

Cons

Pay has fallen behind the private sector. Bureaucracy is bad. No vision for the future. Field offices generally have a good culture but that is where it stops
