Great benefits but not the most satisfying work

Pros

Fantastic work/life balance, great scheduling options and a competitive salary and benefit package. I have never heard of another company that offers leave, benefits, and 401(k) contribution matching to part-time employees.

Cons

As one would expect, the work environment is very bureaucratic. Positions below the GS-7 level are given very little freedom and responsibility and it is difficult to achieve a good overview the company processes since everything is so segmented.
