Pros
Salary and Benefits. The TSP program is exceptional, but make sure to go to the accounting office to maximize the benefits. It is a government position which could possibly open doors for plumb government jobs.
Cons
Hostile work environment. Managers are selected through cronyism rather than any substantial qualifications. I gave up a dream job at a university since I was disillusioned. I didn't realize that I would be at work from 6:30 to 3:30 with continual teaching of foreign students who constantly complain about our country's lack of culture. I never got used to the constant insults from both the students and management since I had had such good treatment at my prior job. I wouldn't say it was hell because hell is permanent, purgatory would be a more accurate description.
