      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 a stable place to work, and the work is important. Some of the most important data in the world are collected, processed, analyzed, and published here. There are many compotent people, and the work environment is fairly casual. Benefits are standard federal gov't benefits, which is positive relative to the private sector.

      Cons

      While standard federal government beneifts are included, they are cheap in not offering optional benefits like student loan repayment. They wasted a lot of money on the deccenial census. Their information office might as well have descended from Soviet propoganda experts. Management is mixed - some offices have great managers, others not so much. Suitland is a ghetto.
