Business Outlook
Pros
Great job security in Baltimore headquarters (keep your credit &a legal record clean, especially during probation); flex-time & alternate work schedule for most positions; federal benefit package is still great.
Cons
Some jobs are by their nature repetitive and boring; long training classes for certain jobs are stressful. Constant fed bashing from Fox News & other media outlets hurts morale and pressures congress & President to cut pay/benefits, as happened recently with multi-year federal pay freeze. SSA jobs at Baltimore headquarters are ranked at lower GS grade levels than equivalent positions with other federal agencies in/around DC.
