Pros

the pay and benefits FERS retirement

Cons

Rotating shifts are brutal, stressful, low staffing, no standards, heavy workload at busy facilities. Training is the absolute worst, your career can be in the hands of employees who doesn't care or excel at their jobs. Bad employees are here to stay and often get promoted over the good, some managers are even worse. Unrealistic health standards, was let go after 15yrs for losing my medical clearance due to a chronic illness.
