Pros
The benefits (Insurance, bonuses, etc) are top notch. You get some great medical and dental, even long term healthcare. The pay and bonuses are excellent! If you land in a good department, the potential to learn and grow is awesome. If you land in a poorly managed department you'll be stuck until you burn out and leave. The mission and what they stand for can't be beat!!
Cons
Unfortunately in our department you work hard without being able to take your vacation or other bonus holidays and you lose them. Recognition is not what it used to be and management is seen hiding out in conference rooms for hours. Most times because they make you single threaded, you end up burned out with no relief in sight or a bucket full of empty promises.
