Pros

Pay is decent, benefits are great, PTO and sick leave are accrued and are generous, 401k (TSP) with 5% match

Cons

Morale is low, leadership tends to micro-manage A LOT everyone always jockying for a new position, generally no one seems happy where they are. Seems that employees are just here because of the great benefits, no one actually likes their job, most office talk seems to revolve around when are you able to retire. In general a good place to work if your just looking for retirement not much upward mobility.

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
