Pros

Incredibly diversified position. Numerous duties. Always a new experience on the horizon. One of the best federal agencies to work for.

Cons

While the job was traditionally 9 to 5 there were frequent times of unexpected overtime or weekend work. A lot of overtime on election years.

Pros

Travel...but even then it gets old, especially when you have bosses that CLEARLY don't travel themselves (good ol' boy network)

Cons

Just read about the $24 million dollar settlement, the issues of MANAGEMENT, comments on Facebook, cater to the "needs of the Service" (which is ambigious and the favorite loophole), bosses will go unpunished for similar or worse mistakes (see Linked in networks), if you are not from law enforcement, have any type of different degree--apply elsewhere--diversity is not at the SS, ask how many women and minorities have left in the last two years, NO FAMILY LIFE (unless you are a boss favorite)
