Pros

lots of time off, Charleston, 8-5 job no one loves it here; there is literally a line-up to get out of the base at 4 o clock, lots of travel as a government employee

Cons

if you work here more than a year you will become useless at anything other than management, and no private company will let you manage their employees without technical knowledge, so... you will be stuck here. I literally do excel and email all day. If you are an engineer stay away, this is a career death trap unless you want to max-out at 100K when you are 60. (if you think 100K is awesome for a career high go ahead and work here), i am bored out of my mind, I use technology from the 1980s and people get rewarded for more meetings. Actually one month I did not do any work at all, I just met a lot, when to Jacksonville, met some more, and then cam back to work. I don't get to touch technology, learn anything about what I joined for, and my computer won't even go in standby. This is where people retire to after they work in the military, not where young college hires should go, find a tech company please!
