Pros

Dont have to work so hard, but thats becouse it realy dont matther what you do. Good vaccation and low "official" working ours. Depending on location and work, good work from home oppertunitys.

Cons

Realy low payment if your not in a staff management position (staff mgm pos gives deascent payment). But for the rest of us, the payment is way below market payment. Basicly all staff mgm position is based on political connections. If you dont know that you will get the position before it is advertaised internaly, forget it. Same for any other senior non-mgm position.
