Vantaggi
Opportunity to contribute to efforts that help the people of PR and the PR community in the US. The salary is comparable to similar roles in other government entities, and the benefits are great ($5K in relocation expenses, 6 weeks of paid vacation right off the bat, both US and PR holidays - nearly 20 holidays a year on top of your vacation, paid health insurance, etc.). They used to have tuition reimbursement but not anymore. I suppose some people also get off on the feeling that they are "insiders" and have access to some of DC's lobbying elite and Hispanic leaders, but that is small comfort compared to the hassles yo have to put up with.
Svantaggi
The entire operation is a snakepit of politics, turf wars and stupid people whose best skill is being a cockroach (no matter what disaster happens, they hide out and continue to survive). I have never worked anywhere that was so dysfunctional, demoralizing and pointless in its daily activities. The amount of money wasted on things like drivers who sit around all day drinking coffee and overpaid/underworked secretaries is truly insane. Unless you can stomach eternally petty politics, constant shifts in direction, and a manufactured "crisis of the day" Every. Single. Day...., you would be well advised to avoid this cesspool of a working environment.
