Business Outlook
Pros
Steady paychecks and pretty decent job security are probably the biggest draws to government work, but there are also the things many people do not consider. Things like job satisfaction and the ability to change policy--sometimes federal policy that affects the nation! Many work-life benefits are available for employees, such as alternative work schedules, flexitime and telework options.
Cons
Sometimes you run across that stereotypical government worker that everyone has heard about and have to wait patiently to get to a better position/office/agency.
