Pros
Health insurance, dental and vision are all good. Government job security. Pay is good. Plenty of different schedules are available.

Staffing is on the small side. Annual leave takes time to collect. Sick leave only builds up 4 hours a paycheck and doesn’t get bigger, ever.
Advice to Management
Hire more people
