Pros
Make your own schedule Work from home - no morning commute and any mileage or expenses are paid Interesting work and you meet lots of interesting people Purpose behind job is rewarding - sense of pride in protecting national security Good benefit options and quarterly bonus potential adds a lot to salary if you are good No case is the same - same function but different stuff every day Background investigation - typically gives you eligibility for a clearance which is very valuable
Cons
Work is never ending - you have to manage yourself or else you will be swamped Meeting production metrics can be tough sometimes especially when you can’t control certain factors Working alone can be very lonely - I go full days without talking to one person Company is for profit so your employment is not protected like federal employees
