Pros

GSA allows a good balance between personal life and work. After 1 year of working there most people are allowed to work at home 1 day a week. You can choose alternate work schedules, say 9 hours a day and get every other Friday off if you want. GSA will also pay part of your commuting costs if you take public transportation. Management is very supportive and if you try hard you will stand out among the crowd.

Cons

You work with alot of people who have been in the government for a long time. They don't work too hard and complain alot about small issues. They have no experience in the private sector and don't realize how easy they have it. They don't embrace change. Once you reach a certain Grade level it is very hard to move up unless you are favored politically. But that is almost every organization, isn't it?

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.
