Pros

Good pay, great healthcare plan, pension. Perfect place for someone who goes to work stoned all day, doesn't care about accountability to taxpayers, and doesn't want to be productive, ever.

Cons

The most dysfunctional, unprofessional place I've ever worked. Managers belittle and are the only ones empowered to speak during meetings, staff gossip constantly and work is never actually done. Questions, problem-solving skills, and initiative are highly discouraged.

Pros

Benefits. If you are in the right group, your career will grow.

Cons

Management in IT keep on calling for a reorg. In the last 5 years, I have been in 3. If you are not known by SR. Mgmt, you will be left behind in a group that only care is their bottom line. Keeping you in a position, because "you would leave behind too big of a hole when you leave". Applying for internal jobs always said no, even though I knew the job role. Managers can get promoted, but not full time employees. This creates 2 classes of people IMO.
