      Pros

      Flexible work schedules. You can accumulate credit hours to use instead of annual or sick leave. Flex time is available at the beginning or end of the day.

      Cons

      Lots of nepotism. There are lots of family members who work for the agency. It's a plus to know someone on the inside. Lots of managers get their children jobs and significant others.

      Good place to work, but very demanding and stressful

      Pros

      Good salary and benefits. Flexible schedule. Paid holidays and you accrue sick and annual leave. Get to help people that need it. Great co-workers and office managers.

      Cons

      Many people you deal with are in rough parts of their life. Interviewing them multiple times a day, day after day has a tendency to start to bring you down and effect you if you let it. Lots of government red tape and bureaucracy.
