Pros

Good starting pay out of school. Good benefits, paid holidays.

Cons

Politics, Good Old Boys Club atmosphere, managers sleeping with subordinates, giving away Government assets to friends, sexisim, ageism, retaliation for whistle blowing, constant backstabbing from coworkers and management. Lower than cost of living annual pay increases if you make waves. (ie. 2% or less) Wife/Husband swapping while on deployment. Misappropriation of government money and assets. Frequent verbal disparagement from coworkers that goes unchecked by management and HR. Frequent verbal disparagement of gays and lesbians. The culture is one of intolerance.
