Good benefits, and that's about it - Attorney Advisor Social Security Administration Employee Review

Not a good place to be for an attorney. (I do have friends in other positions in SSA that are satisfied.) Very, very minimal opportunities for growth. Not doing actual legal work. Incredibly boring. Super bureaucratic. SSA underpays attorneys, even by government standards. Hard workers are not valued. If all you care about is retirement and vacation time, this is the place for you. If you want to do any kind of meaningful or satisfying legal work, stay away!
