Pros

9/80 Workschedule: This is where you work nine hours monday thru thursday and eight hours on friday. In turn you get every other friday off. They also provide flex schedule so you can work variable hours to best fit around your needs and habits. If you like to come in early or late it doesnt matter with flex scheduling.

Cons

Goverment work can be very hurry up and wait. The aging workforce can cause a disconnect if you are a young new hire. It can be quite a shock if everyone you work with is twenty to thirty sometimes even forty years older thank you.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
