Business Outlook
Pros
Unless you really screw up, you can't get fired. You'll also never be laid off. Earn overtime for working protection. After 20 years, you'll be eligible for a pension.
Cons
Management is a disaster, top to bottom. Promotion is not based on merit, it's more about not rocking the boat. You get paid overtime, but you'll work it, and hours are longer than any other in the government. Pension is nice but pales in comparison to state/local police pensions.
