Pros

Stable, decent pay for a government, job security so you will never have to worry about getting fired on a whim and not too concerned about stress day to day, very stable if you are looking for a simple job that doesn't require a lot of effort.

Cons

Boring atmosphere, stagnant job growth and opportunities with a branch that isn't as into mainstream applications as other companies in the industry
