Pros
Paid well enough for the cost of living for the amount of work being done, but not worth it for dealing with management (Amentum, not the actual goverment) Loved my coworkers, we are all so different but we all bonded over how toxic this situation is.
Cons
Terrible management, NOT DUE TO THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION, it sucked before, and it will suck after. You are left alone without supervision with a narcasist who got lead by default. Expect to be gaslight anytime you show initiative and do anything that improves the team to helps operations. You cannot do anything positive if the lead didn’t come up with it, because they refuse anyone have any good ideas or input. They think everyone else is terrible, unfit for the position, and It’s not true. Got told in this entry level job I was over qualified for that it takes 10 years to learn the position from the lead. No. It takes a month, and then you spend 3 more getting screamed at for things like the paperclip not being in the right orientation, or you stapled paperwork in the wrong spot… that level of insanity. Save your self and the headache and work somewhere else or stay on unemployment. It’s not worth the mental and physical problems you get from working with someone incompetent unwilling to receive feedback or criticism. I just left the team where most of us quit immediately and are all in therapy because of this emotional and verbal abuse.
