Pros

Benefits were good but I'm honestly not sure how long that will last for.

Cons

If you're good at something, don't come here. Management does not like people who are actually good at something, it wants "yes or no" type of people. The type of people that will do literally whatever they're told and nothing more or nothing less. If you have an opinion, you better be ready to keep it to yourself. Especially if they tell you that they want to hear your opinion because trust me, they don't. anyone with an opinion in the contradict leadership will get removed from their position at the very least. Heaven forbid you have to do the right thing and report something that is unethical because they will go after you and they will use you as an example of what not to be.

Pros

You have a chance to be at the center of defense policymaking. The salary and benefits are very competitive. The Thrift Savings Plan is a great benefit. PTO and sick leave are much more generous than in the private sector. The federal government is one of the few workplaces that still has a defined-benefit pension plan. The pension isn't huge, but it is enough to keep me out of poverty in retirement.

Cons

The promotion and employee evaluation system does not make sense. Toxic leadership, constant reorganization. I personally do not agree with the current leadership in D.C. and their policies, and that creates ethical quandaries for anyone working there.
