Pros

Steady employment Great benefits if you were employed before 2007. Work is 35 hours per week.

Cons

Hazardous building, you have to be someone's favorite to get a decent area or equipment. Management is dismissive and does not reward good work.Job direction is minimal but you are berated for doing items not explained or trained on. No chance of promotion unless you are one of their favorites. Within same group some can telework multiple days but others are not allowed to with reason being because I say so. Middle and upper management do not respond in a timely manner. Persons promoted with no idea of jobs they supervise. Must pay to park for work or training and have to walk a fair bit to get to office. Toxic work environment so much that bureau has an 80% turnover rate in 5 years.

Pros

Nice friendly work environment, various parking options, beautiful neighborhood, work happy hour, and telework.

Cons

Must pay for parking, salary isn’t that great, work is what you make of it, for there are times when there isn’t much to do, or some people keep projects for themselves to work on.

Pros

Not given many tasks, very easy job.

Cons

Few responsibilities. Very little opportunity for growth. You don't learn any skills. The BCG uses outdate softwares that will not give you job experience to move to other, better jobs. Upper level management does not care about employees. No innovative approaches. The main attitude in the department is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." However, clearly, the problems in this department are rampant and everyone thinks it's too difficult or too much work to fix it. No one seems to have the drive to make things better or easier for the public. There is a lot of gatekeeping of information from the public, and surprisingly, from employees. No one wants any change at all, because god forbid you might have to do another task in your busy day of answering a hand full emails and phone calls. Upper management does nothing but meetings. Everything is based on some outdated notion of "chain of command." Coming from nonprofit work, the BCG is really just lazy and unwilling to improve.
