Pros

It’s a job! It’s a good stepping stone to better federal jobs

Cons

The workload is a lot. Management is awful! Some are bullies some are ghetto and unprofessional, and a small few are nice but not helpful at all. Training is terrible, be prepared to learn on your own and have high expectations that you should just know the job. It will take about 2 years to “kind of” fully understand the job. It’s a lot of information. Mentors don’t want to be bothered to help but grade you wrong. If you work here join the union because you will need someone to have your back at some point. It’s a good start in the federal government but not a place many stay for the long haul.

Pros

flexibility, teleworking, pay, and holidays off cool work environment.

Cons

Everything's on a quota, heavy workload, dealing with irritated claimants—it's not really a legal job.
