Pros

You can be sure you can get a paycheck without coming or performing any duties.

Cons

It is a good ol' boy's club. The management protects its own. Management only interested in its own skin. High achievers perform most of the duties. Incompetency is par for the course. If one complains enough s/he either gets a higher rating or less work. Performers are leaving in droves.

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.
