Pros

SSA offers excellent benefits which you would be hard-pressed to find in the private sector. Furthermore, and possibly more importantly, SSA is extremely flexible when it comes to leave-taking for valid reasons. Flex-time allows me to clock in when I get there and not haggle over minutes late or early.

Cons

The initial career advancement opportunities are substantial, however as you advance more, there are obviously fewer opportunities, but at the same time, the compensation is more drastically disparate from the private sector.
