Pros

Great leave policy, you can take off without having to worry about your job. Best health insurance coverage. Supervisors will make or break you. If you have a good one, keep in touch with them.

Cons

The pay, or lack thereof. You'll get a tiny raise after years of nothing, and be expected to be on your knees thanking the legislature. Not a lot of opportunities for growth. The only way to get paid more is to move agencies.
