Pros

You won’t find any pros here; proceed (run) for another employer! There are plenty of other federal agencies, especially in DC, MD, and Northern VA.

Cons

The tens of billions of dollars it collects annually in rent through its Federal Buildings Program payments corrupts. With a fat checkbook, they proceed to pick-and-choose which parts of the rule of law they will and won’t follow. This turns its EEO program into one big joke, like its pathetic director. If you live with a disability, don’t apply here. If you do, and are hired, you are more than likely to experience the awful betrayal of discrimination, retaliation, lower performance ratings and awards, less professional development, loss of your good reputation, and fewer promotions than your non-disabled peers. The proverbial playing field isn’t level here. The EEO enforcement authority won’t save you, either. You’re kidding yourself if you further believe the GSA IG, Office of Special Counsel, or the Merit Systems Protection Board have your back. If they violate your civil rights, get your case before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia Circuit just as soon as you gain standing. Go public, and expose these tortfeasors!

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.
