Pros

Helping citizens rather than shareholders is a really rewarding part of the job

Cons

Pay is pretty terrible compared to industry Senior management spend most of their time navel gazing and don't like to hear that things aren't perfect. There is no real future strategy or direction other than some vague ramblings. Though I guess this is a bit tricky when you have a new minister ever 5 minutes.
