Pros

Decent pay, not asked to do any mandatory overtime, relaxed atmosphere (at least for evening/night shifts), management open to giving you the two days off you want each week, coworkers open to giving each other rides

Cons

Temporary job, had to work federal holidays, some dept. better than others (I spent 3 days on QA and hated having to call ppl all day), coworkers complained a lot (about legitimate and other concerns).

Pros

Clear roles and responsibilities. Good opportunities for advancement. Pleasant work environment and fulfilling work because it is constitutionally mandated.

Cons

Bureaucratic and rigid organizational structure. Limited ability to make significant change to how things are done. Technology is not up to date. Pay scale is good for government but not up to par with the private sector
