The people I have worked with are nice and helpful.

The salary is low and working at a "Government" company is not like working in the private sector - more politics, less getting things done.

Pros

Great benefits and good people

Cons

Some of the worst schedules I've seen, underfunded and undermanaged at the executive level and micromanaged at the lower levels, if you're not part of the group, you'll definitely feel alone
