Business outlook
Pros
Taking care of wounded veterans--some actually appreciate what you do. Lots of Federal holidays. Compensation for actual work involved is very good. Once in GS status extremely difficult to get fired.
Cons
Endless bureaucracy. Inane mission statements that matter very little. Constant focus on "window features" (i.e. make things look good) rather than product (i.e. focus on competently delivered & safe patient care).
