Pros

Unusual to get 1:1 Comp time or 1.5:1 Overtime as an engineer Flexible schedule Government Benefits and Vacation An actual pension plan (thought it isn't what it once was)

Cons

A lot of bad frontline managers Sequestration hasn't hit as hard as some places but the belt tightens again every year. It costs a little piece of my soul every day. No obvious way to move up the Payband since step increases were removed.
