Pros

Benefits, retirement, union, job security.

Cons

Run like the mafia. No promotion without connections. Promotions are merely salary increases without increased responsibilities. So many layers of well connected supervisors bully the few workers who did not have the connections to promote. Discrimination based on race and nepotism. Stressful, dead end jobs.

Stable, chances for advancement (dependent on location), more time off the longer you stick around

Heavy red tape, Analysts may be tasked with supporting way too many needy employees from their own and other units, low morale as a result.
