Pros

Flexible work schedule, time off, able to work from home, benefits are good, public transportation subsidy, day shift and no weekend work.

Cons

No advancement opportunity due to budget cuts. Surrounded by lazy and ignorant individuals who are in their positions because they have been there so long and won't retire. Managers are for the most part incompetent, only care about themselves and do not know how to manage work or personnel. They could easily get rid of the dead weight, promote the good people and save the American taxpayer billions per year. But, government work doesn't make sense and it's never going to improve.
