Pros

Good benefits (critical ones are no more available...) Work locations (NATIONWIDE) Good cafeteria friendly coworkers (at least most of them)

Cons

Excessive Red tape Too many regulatory work requirements kills creativity Biased management that only believes in extracting that most from direct reports to impress their supervisors

Pros

Above avaerage compensation and benefits.

Cons

Management no longer empowered to manage day to day tactical operations. All decisions must be made at the top level. This often results in an untimely delays, and or in no decision being made. This has a significant negative affect on morale at all employee levels. Promotions are more often than not performance related.

Pros

Good benefits, particularly for retirement (I'm under the "old" plan with a pension)

Cons

We're in conservatorship and really don't know what the future holds. Will we be eliminated, re-badged under a new company name? Will our jobs be outsourced (probably)? Will our pensions still be around after we are "unwound"? I've gotta say, I never saw this coming. It's a scary time at Fannie, but the benefits are hard to let go of in such an uncertain economy. Golden handcuffs.
