Pros

They will hire you right out of college with no experience. The first year is all training, so you will learn as you go. Great health benefis and 10% matched 401k

Cons

Depending on the city you work, you could travel a lot. Salary is ok but not going to make you rich. Senior management in the field offices are not the most competent. Many of the good examiners have been promoted over the last few years into desk roles leaving very little experience in the field.

Sometimes there was unprofessional behavior such as gossiping, catty behavior by upper-level management to subordinate staff and vice-versa, pay was lower than expected for the work performed. Not compensated fairly for the area and locale. High turnover rates within functional unit,
