Pros

horrible they wasted my time by saying my security clearance was clear just to fly me up and say they waited to send off my security clearance till I got there to finish my fingerprints ( They led me to belive everything was clear before I got there) now I'm sitting on a greyhound 19 hours away from home because the administration couldn't take they're job seriously and just tell me what really was going on during my first day of NEO everything they told me would not line up with what a tecruiter told me they lied way to much for me to ever consider them to anybody!!

Cons

exactly what i said was good

Pros

Friendly environment 2 days a week telework RDO

Cons

Hard to really understand job at first. Can get boring. After a GS-13 you are stuck doing the same work over and over. At the GS-14 level is too stressful to take on.
