It’s a job - Program Technician US Farm Service Agency Employee Review

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.

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

Good retirement benefits. Very flexible leave usage

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
