Pros

Good benefits (vacation, healthcare, and 401K) and at times interesting work. Potential for positive impact is nearly limitless and President Clinton is exceptionally inspiring.

Cons

Obstacles to achieving positive impact are nearly as limitless as the potential, if not more. Senior management means well, but not effective. Majority of junior staff have never worked anywhere else and have unrealistic expectations of what can and should be possible in career development (expectation to get promotion every year, etc.). It epitomizes the phrase "squeaky wheel gets the grease"
