Pros

Nothing- salary lowest among APS, career goes backwards, no opportunity for learning, meaningless department without real purpose, operational agencies has issues because of workload and clientele, ombudsman justifies by picking up on issues and burning commonwealth’s budget.

Cons

If you value being a public servant and have purpose to serve the public, please stay away. You’ll quit with in a year anyway unless you are in HR or any role that is highly competitive in other agencies like policy, auditing, IT, etc.
