      Pros

      If you need some extra cash its good.

      Cons

      it's just a waste of time. The Fed. Gov. is not the most efficient entity in the world.

      Pros

      Good pay and good job security, at least for an out of college job. I've learned alot on the job and I feel that I can transfer my skills/experience to another job if i choose to do so. A great place to start a career.

      Cons

      Office politics are bad, but that can be said for alot of places. Most of the people at the Bureau are older types.

      Pros

      It is steady work on interesting subjects. Overall the employees are good people who care about doing quality work. The benefits package is good, like other fed jobs. There's flexibility in work schedules, which is good. At tenure level (3+ years) there's as much job security as you'll find. The building is new (2006).

      Cons

      Very difficult to fire poor workers, so they get shuffled between branches and divisions. The commute to work is long for everybody. There's been problems with data security, while management has been trying to balance precautions with allowing workers to do their job, a few more incidents and a lot of the freedoms employees take for granted could be shut off, such as email and Internet access.
