      Pros

      If you are part of the 80% that do no work, it is a great way to ride the wave.

      Cons

      No management support. Do a good job and receive more tasks although you will potentially be promoted. Many managers dump on employees and try to make sure other offices do not pick up the good help (this involves a simple phone call). In bureaucracy, making people happy and "getting along" is always far more important than performance. At this point, most of the capable employees in the Washington area (the Washington field office) have retired or moved on due to the aforementioned patterns of behavior. If you slack off, this can be a place where your style is quite acceptable.

      Pros

      More technologically advanced than other government agencies. Much more lean, agile and less bureaucratic than other government agencies. Lots of opportunities to learn about the various types of commercial acquisitions.

      Cons

      High turnover at the top of the organization in recent years. Confusing communication/lack of explanation regarding re-organization and new work environment. Recent efforts to downsize resulted in extremely high workloads, disorganization, and very poor morale. Depressing to see a once great place to work to be in such disarray. (Many areas have gaps in knowledge and expertise due to mass exodus and reorganization). Top leadership seems out of touch with what GSA does and how it operates on a daily basis which has exacerbated morale problems. Feels “political” vs. the normal apolitical stance every government position I’ve had over the past 15 years I’ve been in the career field.
