Pros

flexible schedule, security on grounds, able to work with people of different abilities (vision, hearing, non-walking difficulties, etc), not a typical call center environment

Cons

benefits not available or the requirements are so specific that only a limited population of employees are eligible, opportunity for promotion/increased responsibility can be improved, having to take the verbal abuse of the US population while they do NOT have omniscient knowledge about the federal government

Pros

Dynamic work environment Pay is good for a temp job You can work your way up fairly easily if you take the exams in some offices, but not all

Cons

I found the regional offices, which have a lot of contact with the local offices, to make decisions affecting the local offices based on inadequate knowledge of field conditions and in general they were a burden instead of a help to the smaller offices.
