Pros

GSA does a great job balancing work life requirements, and is definitely ideal for the time strapped federal employee. Atmosphere is fine, co-workers are friendly. Lots of in agency organizations to participate in, and a variety of fields & expertise.

Cons

Low compensation for new employees. Days at GSA are slow, management is prone to delegating rather than leading. Leadership is often technologically illiterate. Project direction is non-existent - with very vague issues expected to be resolved rapidly with few resources. Old office - majority of employees are 10+ years.

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.
