Pros

"You can do that here" was the theme of the new associate workshop held in Washington, DC attended by new GSA associates from all over the country representing several business lines. I have a wide background in commercial real estate and hadn't previously found a place that would allow me to both use several of my skill areas and allow me to learn new ones.

Cons

Being a Federal Agency, GSA can't offer some perks of private organizations. As a commercial property manager, vendors took me to nice lunches and Braves baseball games frequently. Also, our legal staff just gave the management team a brief on why we can't purchase snacks for training courses or hold 'off site' retreats.

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.
