Pros

The benefits are good. You work a traditional Mon-Fri schedule. The team is small and working with producers gives you a chance to network.

Cons

Where do I start... It took 3 months for the agency to get me my PIV card, which you need in order to work. The workload is extremely HEAVY and deadlines are back-to-back. It can be very exhausting mentally. There's absolutely ZERO diversity. Co-workers and producers can come off a bit racist, making the work environment very uncomfortable. The lack of training is unbelievable. Software is outdated, tons of paper records, lack of management, and so much more. The environment was toxic and very unprofessional.

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
