Pros

Good benefits. "Paid in sunsets." Depending on your job, you may be able to travel to some cool places. When unethical management gets to you, you can go for a walk outside to calm down.

Cons

Permanent jobs are unicorns. Management is so corrupt. Don't go into the park service at anything lower than an 11 if you have any sort of career aspirations. We've been told at trainings that the best thing to do is transfer outside of NPS, move up, then come back. Not sure how that was supposed to help our already shot morale.
