Pros
Meeting new people and serving the community.
Cons
Long-term employment but as a "state/granted funded" organization, the company itself does not promote growth through education nor salary. When comparing a pay stub from 2008 the gross pay was different, but the net pay was closely the same. The company does not pay into benefits enough to make a difference in what you bring home, which is not sustainable to live. How is it that you can work 80hrs, have health insurance, life etc. through your employer, but need to have either a second job or public assistance to make ends meet? There aren't any educational benefits and being already in debt for other college courses is not a feasible option.
