      Pros

      Money and Benefits and excellent. Raises every year if you play nice. Time off when needed but be careful your first year.

      Cons

      Poor communication among management. POLITICS abound in the SSA office. Learn what your manager wants and don't deviate from this.

      Pros

      Great pay and benefits. There is a satisfaction in helping people in a time of need.

      Cons

      The training, while time consuming is not very effective. Does not deal with real life situations. Policynet, which contains all of SSA 's various rules and regulations is not very user friendly. Some policies are worded in a way that contradicts itself. Sometime I feel that I should have a law degree to understand it.

      Pros

      Family Friendly leave benefits (Lots of Leave), Salary, and Thrift Savings Plan (Retirement) and Early Out Benefits (25yrs of Service at any age)

      Cons

      High Stress, Public Contact in reception gets tedious after a while(Sometimes you wish you can just walk out of it all), You'll never be caught up with your work (You must be super organized to Master this, I have in my 21 years of service :D ) You must do Reception everyday aside from having other work assigned which gets you very backup up with your work (Management doesn't care about this)
