Pros

This job is an okay way to get into working for the feds.

Cons

The workloads are unmanageable, the work place culture is toxic, and there is limited advancement. There isn't enough time to get all of the work done in the day, yet claims keep coming and so do the requests from management to do more. This job is much more than just taking applications and learning slow systems, it is also a glorified reception role. You will answer phones, work reception, get yelled at by the public, and hear sad stories all day. It gets to you.

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