Pros

Set schedule. Good job. Easy to promote(when their interviewing). Good benefits. Job security.

Cons

Would rather hire new workers then take care of current ones. Bad career. No employee retention. Pay gets messed up and it could take a year or more to get your money back. Everything happens really slow. Work hard or don’t, all pays the same.

Pros

Stable, chances for advancement (dependent on location), more time off the longer you stick around

Cons

Heavy red tape, Analysts may be tasked with supporting way too many needy employees from their own and other units, low morale as a result.
