Pros
Retirement pension (if as promised, will be good, but this is unpredictable). Nearly impossible to get fired. Low expectations of real productivity.
Cons
Office is completely dis-functional. Management largely unaware of problems within staff. Conflicts between employees frequently involve yelling in public meetings. There is a lack of drive among employees because there are no rewards for risk, only punishments. Sexual harassment has been an ongoing issue. There is a secret "in-crowd" that gets raises when others do not. Various departments compete for money. Important projects go unfunded or ignored. Excellent employees are treated poorly. Pervasive bullying, intimidation, favoritism. Political employees refuse to work and are unaccountable. Show up late, drink coffee, smoke cigarettes then go for a drink during lunch, no one cares. Claims to be inclusive and multi-cultural but racism and discrimination happen frequently.
