Pros: good pay, good benefits, citizens easy to work with
Cons: nepotism, favoritism, ethically-challenged, unprofessional management
Difficult office environment to work in. Concerns about practical ethics and intra-office equity are not welcomed. If you are friends with a boss, you're in and up. If you walk a path of professional ethics and focus on fact- and policy-based deliberation, you're down and out. State of the practice is ignored or stifled.
