Pros

The SEC provides good work/ life balance, decent benefits, and a fair amount of autonomy in completing work assignments and projects.

Cons

Requirements necessary to achieve certain promotions are obscure at best. Performance based pay is even less transparent. Generally requires travel, which is only a con if you do not like to travel.
