Pros

-travel -The "JV" team is more hardworking than "Varsity" but has better coworkers, you'll know who is good and bad when you arrive

Cons

-long hours, often unpaid when unscheduled -trips are notified at 4:45 in the afternoon for often early next day travel -promotions are based on who they want not what you know -not everyone has a tangible skill set when they leave. get your cyber or TSD and go elsewhere

Systemic Racism very much alive.

Administration officer

Business Outlook

Pros

You get a top secret clearance and there is ample overtime

Cons

If you work as an agent then being a white you can grow faster. If you work as a black in administration like HR or Budget etc you will shoot upfaster. There is a lot of systemic racism. An agent after finishing his one tour of protection is given a GS 14 or 15 in the administrative side so all higher positions are occupied by the zero talented trigger happy agents. If you are from any other race then good luck. There is a massive fast turn around in the administrative side which I am aware of and where I work.
