Pros

The pay is good for this economy.

Cons

Supervisors threw temper tantrums almost daily, and would complain openly about subordinate shortcomings. Leadership is of a bullying mentality. When these issues are addressed to HRO the term "Management Style" is brought up on a regular basis. Management will not follow requirements to insure that all employees are certified in their positions. Work is whimsically applied, with little directions, and there is no requirement that supervisors follow Title 5 rules. Evaluations are back dated and signed, and many employees are working out of their job descriptions.

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
