Pros

You do some good when you work there. Benefits and salary are great as well. There are some great people that you work with, who are super helpful even for the bureaucracy.

Cons

If you decide to actually do your job, you can be impeded on every turn by judges, managers and the clerk herself. It seems that all that is required of you is to type away and pretend that all the criminals are poor lost lambs who need comfort..victims don't count. Discrimination based on ethnicity and education is rampant especially among the managers.
