Pros

Good exposure to the field, flexible days off, good health insurance.

Cons

Can let you go without adequate notice, no benefits. You will likely be doing the same amount of work as your federal counterparts, but be paid less. No room for growth in salary besides 10% increase per year (based on inflation).
