Not my favorite job

Pros

Location. Right inside Gate 1. Lots of convenient parking.

Cons

I seriously disliked the culture. I don't believe in working till I keel over dead. There should be some kind of balance. I felt undervalued and couldn't wait to leave. Their funding's been cut severely and the prognosis for growth isn't good.

Pros

Pay is decent, benefits are great, PTO and sick leave are accrued and are generous, 401k (TSP) with 5% match

Cons

Morale is low, leadership tends to micro-manage A LOT everyone always jockying for a new position, generally no one seems happy where they are. Seems that employees are just here because of the great benefits, no one actually likes their job, most office talk seems to revolve around when are you able to retire. In general a good place to work if your just looking for retirement not much upward mobility.

Pros

Variety of military specific projects. Important mission to serve the people who defend the USA. Work 8 hours every day, not forced to work any more than that.

Cons

No bonuses. No salary increases for getting your PE license. Organization has struggled for years with budget cuts. Good engineers are held back by the red tape in the system, bad engineers are here because they can’t make it in the private sector and whoever is left is waiting to float on the gov’t employees’ retirement system in X amount of years. It's an "all about me" company. Blatant mistakes are made and no one cares. Getting someone fired for poor performance is impossible. Government criteria is always changing, especially every 2 years when new military management takes over. You are required to do things that don't make any bit of sense just so someone can check a box on some form.
