Pros

- It is an honor to serve the public and fellow Federal employees by ensuring the safety of our public buildings. - Working on challenging, interesting building projects. - Great benefits for Holidays, Vacation, Sick Leave, and Insurance Coverage.

Cons

- Pay is not commensurate with private sector. - A significant sector of workforce is wrought with over-entitlement issues, lack of motivation, and lack of commitment to quality and regulatory compliance. - Upward mobility is stymied due to lack of attrition. - Extremely limited with regard to commonplace business gifts - no game tickets, limited to $20 value token gifts/meal/etc. - Important, urgent building needs are seriously underfunded

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.
