Pros

Life/work balance is good; my coworkers are atypical of the government worker stereotype; they work hard and try very hard to keep their customers happy, working here makes you feel patriotic and like you are doing something good for the Navy; good benefits

Cons

Can be furloughed or experience sequestration; too much bureaucracy, technologically behind at times with outdated equipment, not much opportunities for salary growth once you reach step 10

Pros

Won’t fire anyone, know how much you’re going to make.

Cons

Bad raises. Job growth is very uncommon. Management is incompetent from top to bottom. Not enough people and too much work. Nepotism is rampant in this organization. Unqualified people are promoted. Career bad apples are left without being fired or disciplined. First level managers are useless. They at too much red tape to do the most basic things. Upper levels are arrogant and hard headed.hiring has been frozen for a year yet somehow the ‘bud club’ is promoting people constantly who are in their ‘inner circle’. Hiring actions are super sketchy, names are dropped for specific people to be hired etc. It’s crazy
