Pros

Mostly good co-workers that will become life-long friends, great organization if you love to serve the needy, all work related events have a ton of food (you won't go hungry) and the lives you touch will also touch your own.

Cons

Heaven help! The ones put in charge (to lead and supervise) are terrible examples to all of us. They both lie a lot and do very little work. 1 in particular is always behind on his tasks, or he forgets, but he always throws someone else under the bus to cover for himself, at the expense of that person being in trouble. This happens A LOT!! Another one (a officer/major) is very condescending to women, knows very little about procedures and protocols, does not like to be told when he is wrong, and hates to be told NO. He likes to say that he is right because he is the boss and is also blatantly condescending and disrespectful to his wife who is in the same position as he is. A lot of overall dishonesty in reporting numbers. Mostly number padding to impress DHQ, few times lowering numbers for god knows what.
