Pros
Stability. One could devote 30 or more years there fairly easily. Weathers economic downturns well.
Cons
They are in a constant budget crisis, even long before the economy went south. Something is wrong with the budget model/process. Work/Life balance is bad. You don't have the feeling you can enjoy your time away from work because of the pressures. Many people in upper positions are too rooted in bygone methods and attitudes, making change extremely difficult.
