Pros: it is a job that pays.
It is a regular government agency. Everyday is a busy working day, lots of things to be accomplished within a time table. Job was a piece of cake despite its daily challenges.

Political and Draconian

Extremely political; favoritism and nepitism is rapant and encouraged accross departmental lines; management is fractured and chaotic (a direct result of the constant political posturing); many emplyees are lax and misuse the workday, at tax payer expense; the beurearocracy of business, impedes the timely and effective execution of policy and procedure.
