Pros
The history... the first month you learn about the history of the agency. It’s interesting and somewhat fun. In hindsight it’s just a month long pep rally. Time off! Lots of it...
Cons
Most managers here should not be in management roles. They are terrible. Lots of arrogance and good old boy clubs going on. Ego stroking like I have never seen. If you are an engineer or in any technical position and would like to continue that track and retain those skills do NOT join the agency! Come on board via a contractor. But if you want to baby sit contractors, watch people work and play politician then join! Promotions are a joke!!! If there is no one on the promotion panel that knows and can say good things about you forget about a promotion. It’s strictly who you know and not what you know or your accomplishments. Oh my god! The traffic!!!!!
