      A truly terrible IT department. Spectacularly toxic.

      Pros

      The corporate structure is there to make for an excellent job. Just avoid the IT department at all costs.

      Cons

      Many employees in the IT department have been there for many years and have no other career options. They plan to retire there. There is a tremendous amount of politics and backstabbing that you go through on a daily basis. Nepotism and cronyism run rampant. Terrible architecture. The department does it's best to not work at all.

      Pros

      Hourly rate was decent for a job fresh out of college; better than service or retail. If you network hard, you might make connections that could help you get a fed job, but don't count on it. Can be a good stepping stone to jobs in government, research, and academia, especially if you have a good mentor.

      Cons

      Glorified internship. No PTO, very minimal health plan and retirement (likely because they don't expect you to use it. Your experience will depend a lot on the "mentor" you're assigned to -- some will be extremely supportive and nurturing, while others really treat you like their personal assistant. Expect condescension from fed employees (although many are perfectly nice), who have prestige, permanent job security, good benefits.

      Pros

      Everyone is so helpful! The workplace is very inclusive and diverse. They are so eager to expand their employees knowledge and skills to make THEM more marketable. Also... REMOTE WORK!

      Cons

      I can not think of any cons! :)
