Unbalanced pay, mired in red tape - Systems Administrator Defense Information Systems Agency Employee Review

Pros

Large exciting projects. Interesting work.

Cons

Slow promotions, lots of red tape and pay is unbalanced. Many contractors are underpaid (while their employers keep huge profits) and civilians are facing huge turnover and lower quality people coming in from these contractor companies. The rank system is disorganized, there is no clear structure saying that contractors are responsible to civilians, and guidance has made it more difficult for civilians to manage contractors as civilians have been told they cannot comment on contractor performance or achievements.
