Pros

Steady job and steady income. Benfits are average - neither good nor bad. I've seen better and I've seen worse in private sector.

Cons

Quality of leadership and management skills varies. Politics. Angry claimants. Bad apples within the workforce that get promoted. Annual performance bonuses range from $0-$500 (I don't understand the arguments that federal employees make out better than private sector. My wife works in private sector and gets $100,000-$150,000 annual performance bonuses.)
