Pros

If your leadership chain is decent and supportive, this may be the best job you'll ever have/

Cons

Depending on where you work, you may struggle with poor leads and coworkers. It's far too easy to coast as a federal employee. That doesn't mean we're all coasters. If you do a good job for a good group of leads, you will be recognized and rewarded. The problem is if you do a horrible job and contribute nothing, you will be able to maintain your job. Some of my coworkers actually make my job harder than it should be.

Pros

Skill opportunities, civilian credential opportunities

Cons

every command is politically motivated. Promotions are assigned based on who is at a command for longer instead of purely merit. Overall, disappointed that the military is not a mertiocracy and more of a, covering your butt, bueracracy
