Pros

Great work/life balance. Agency embraces telework, alternative work schedules, mobile technology. Tremendous opportunities for newer employees to take on high amounts of responsibility. GSA is at the intersection of many different areas of government which can make working at the agency interesting, albeit complicated.

Cons

A Federal agency with a high amount of bureaucracy that can infiltrate daily decision-making. Continual changes in senior leadership every few years results in continual analysis and sometimes needless reinvention of agency wide processes.

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.
