Pros

As stated in other reviews federal employee perks are excellent. Credit hours for working overtime flex time etc.

Cons

Training (lack of), interpersonal drama and backbiting and nepotism make it a horrible place to work. Everyone working in the agency says everyone else in incompetent/or doesn't do their job. For example, at a state wide training meeting a Manager directly contradicted the trainer in front of the whole meeting, they proceed to argue, and then the manager sent out e-mails during the training soliciting complaints to be made against the person conducting the training. This person was the head of the department her boss. Unprofessional behavior at it's finest. A hostile workplace for Veterans, My manager vocalized displeasure to me (a service connected disabled veteran) with being forced to hire veterans, and veterans were treated like red-headed step children. Example, a new hire veteran working in a different office had a confrontation with his supervisor so the supervisor made all the veterans in the county over multiple offices attend a teleconference on veterans in the workplace.

Pros

Excellent job to have while raising a family. Maxi-flex schedule (9 on, 1 off) is very helpful for doctor appointments to not use up sick time.

Cons

Under hiring freezes, oftentimes working understaffed to meet numerous program details.

Pros

Good retirement benefits. Very flexible leave usage

Cons

Pay has fallen behind the private sector. Bureaucracy is bad. No vision for the future. Field offices generally have a good culture but that is where it stops
