      Mediocrity. Bureaucracy. Dysfunction. The United States Senseless Bureau.

      Pros

      It doesn't take much intelligence or skill to get a job there.

      Cons

      It doesn't take much intelligence or skill to get a job there. Veteran's preference was out of control, with barely passing veterans (on the job entrance exam) edging out those who scored 100%--and it wasn't a difficult test! This means that the Bureau is full of incompetent and mediocre individuals who feel entitled to their job while putting in the minimum of effort. There is also a severe Old Boys' Club mentality, along with communication breakdown both within and among departments. It's a wonder how anything ever got accomplished. I drove home in tears at least once a week--and I'm not an incredibly emotional person.

      Ok- would not recommend as a first choice for a job

      Pros

      Good pay, good benefits, nice gym family friendly job, pretty much work 8 hours a day

      Cons

      Not willing to pay for things like master's degrees with the exception of the survey methodology program Work is very, very, very boring-a lot of people say this. Work comes in cycles, when there is no work, there is nothing to do and if you ask management for something to do they will give you a cold blank stare. I really do not recommend this job for a young person straight out of college for that reason. Everyone around me facebook surfs all day and you really can't blame them. Cafeteria food options are terrible and expensive. I swear it looks like they just make the most random recipes with ingredients that do NOT go together. Many of the managers are smart book wise but are terrible at management.
