Pros

as a contractor - none.. we got paid time off on federal holidays and that's about the extent of positive experiences

Cons

-most people that work there are just a bunch of automatons.... spending the day there is like watching paint dry ( I know cubicle jobs are typically boring, but this place took it to another level) -some managers were a nightmare.. you have to deal with omnipresent micro-managers who would constantly stare at employees to the point of uncomfortable - ever since the vegas scandal, they don't spend money on anything.. no napkins, cups or anything in the break room.. same goes for office supplies.. when I asked for a mouse pad once I got a sticky used one...umm thanks?

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.
