Pros

If you are determined and hard working you can make a career out of working for SSA. After working for three to 5 years, you can earn a decent salary depending on the position you're in.

Cons

The internal promotion system is out of wack. I had to apply externally to get a higher paying position within the agency. There are heavy workloads, and you're expected to get work done without being given the time to do it.
