Pros
Great benefits. Great pay. Some opportunity for overtime. Air-conditioned office setting (always helps). Longevity guarantees the best work schedules, promotional potential in-house or other agencies, etc. Partial payment of tuition (per semester) after one year of work completed.
Kontras
Some of the best paid jobs are still right here in our backyards. Federal jobs are well-paid and no one can contest with the health benefits it offers. Especially if you work for the United States Postal Service. But what is really the price to pay for having job security? Should they be allowed to disregard the voices of the employees? Think about what truly makes you happy at work (besides the money)! Is it really worth it to be abused and belittled by the angry public,seeking to take out the anguish and frustration of tax season out on you? Is it really worth it to have to pick up the sewage inexperienced tax preparers leave on unsuspecting taxpayer returns? I guess you can decide.
