      Pros

      There aren't many good things to say about the Census Bureau.

      Cons

      This place is run by authoritarian managers who enjoy belittling employees. If your manager is a veteran, then you better be careful because that manager will NEVER be fired no matter what they do or say to you. They can fire you for any little mistake like forgetting to attach a document to an email. It was the worst experience of my professional career. The director of the Los Angeles location even told staff the reason she took the job 20 years ago was because it was one of the few places she could have power. She actually said that in a staff meeting!
