Pros

Location, benefits, no income tax

Cons

Understaffed. Poorly managed. High caseloads like any social service agency but expect you to work for free to make up for their lack of staffing. Disconnect from what frontline workers do v manager knowledge of how much time it takes to do the work. Managers manipulate employee dynamics to pressure, isolate, and shame employees.
