Pros
Federal hasn't gained its reputation for no reason. It is a company that challenges the status quo, makes sound decisions with the long-term vision always in mind and excellence can be seen in everything we do. I attribute all this to upper management; we are truly surrounded by industry superstars that you can learn a lot from. You just have to make it a point to do this. Also, the sense of pride in belonging to FRIT is a huge plus.
Cons
Although it is admirable that we are technically small in size for all we do, that has its downsides. In my opinion, systems and technology are in desperate need for improvement (investing in efficiency will pay off in the long run), middle management needs to be carefully chosen (ability to manage needs to be looked at vs. years of service) and we must invest in more personnel (most departments seem to be spread too thin which makes it difficult for talented employees to think outside the box, shine and grow)
