Pros

Great peers. Strong benefits. Significant efforts and movement to be "best run government".

Cons

Still slow to action. Cross objectives in some areas. Too much overhead related to training and accomplishing multiple social and cultural goals that significantly reduce efficient use of resources and delivery of services (too many at one time that are slowly executed and not re-enforced or given an opportunity to become engrained in the culture).
