Pros

Benefits are good. A lot of good people in the office where I worked. Plenty of training opportunities, including conference attendance. Work/life balance was pretty good as well.

Cons

My pay was extremely low to start out, but my manager was aware of this and did work to bring it up pretty quickly. This may just be my location, but it was way too difficult to actually get anything done in my office. There are so many regulations and overbearing rules that must be followed that things move at a snail's pace. One top of that, there were a lot of people that were so used to this that it seemed like they dragged their feet during the process. I was there for 3.5 years and each of my projects took probably 50% longer than it needed to. The reason felt like it was mostly cultural and not because of a lack of skill.

Pros

9/80 work schedule, health benefits. Very nice office spaces with good walking paths for a lunch walk. On site medical where you can get your flu shot or just go if you're not feeling well.

Cons

Training was 'catch as catch can.' Manager seems to have nothing to do but send daily emails to group: what are you doing today...tomorrow...this week. Forwards emails for non-essential nonsense. Very top heavy with managers who manage other managers and so on. Well, the 'real workers' got our layoff notices this week. Don't know how my relatively low salaried job will effect LM's bottom line. I guess the six figure managers will still be eating at the taxpayer-funded troth. Wish the US government could really 'see' what they're paying for - non-essential heavy middle/top management.
