Pros

Relatively stable employment. Wages are high and consistent for low work expectations. There is an intrinsic honor being able to work as a public servant.

Cons

Nepotism is a rampant problem in the depot environment. Opportunities for advancement and development are limited. Riggors of dealing with red tape and dense burocracy of the government gets disheartening. Little reward for above average performance.

Pros

Excellent, unique learning experience with opportunities to take on a significantly amount of responsibility at a young age. I was given quite a bit of autonomy and left to succeed on my own.

Cons

Promotion system is seriously flawed. Deployments can wear on you. Like any Government agency, there's simply too much bureaucracy and managerial overhead.

Pros

The people are the best reason to work there. I've gotten spoiled working with motivated and capable folks my entire career. The mission can also be very exciting and fulfilling depending upon what you choose/are chosen to do.

Cons

The travel can, at times, be difficult on family life in particular. Deployments seem to come more frequently now than they did 10 or 15 years ago.
