Pros

Pay and benefits are generous by not for profit standards, with the benefits possibly unsurpassed. Generally speaking all necessary resources are provided. If you have a strong idea, you will be supported with additional means to get a job done or bring and idea to fruition. The mission is one of the most important concerns of the nation's future: Healthcare, the cost of prescription drugs, caregiving, fraud prevention, financial exploitation -- not to mention Medicare and Social Security.

Cons

There is a shared feeling that the organization is too inward looking. A lot of time is spent reporting, assessing, targeting, projecting , sharing, conferencing. evaluating and re-evaluating.

Pros

A lot of fun people to work with in the DC office Mission is excellent Great benefits

Cons

Not everyone gets an opportunity to advance within the organization. They end up losing quality employees. It's a place to retire. There are folks who are comfortable in their positions and you can tell they have no intention of doing more or moving on. A lot of broken promises
