Pros

Flexible work environment, tons of government training, childcare on location, business casual dresscode

Cons

Serious injury resulted in quitting because reasonable accomodation was a challenging and time consuming process; co-workers were unprofessional about injury and management did not correct their staff on professional behavior. Lack of consideration given with defense surveys and civilian staff's sensitivities to content. PII lost by federal government seven times throughout my lifespan so far. Older staff appear to have overbearing superiority complexes and speak to new staff in that manner. Training programs are abundant but materials are quickly outdated. Resources needed to perform daily work are not readily available. Electronic resources, such as providing eProcurement manuals on line so staff may look up their questions themselves and fix the problem themselves, is not there or not sufficient enough; I am a self-starter and prefer to be able to review manuals and instructions myself rather than ask supervisors that do not use the system or have never performed the particular job task.

Pros

General Federal government benefits: annual & sick leave, retirement investment options

Cons

Out of my 20 years of working, transferring here was by far one of the poorest decisions I’ve made in my career. I was looking forward to working here but I could sense that gut feeling of making a big mistake when I saw that the standard operating procedures (SOPs) in the shared files were outdated and management refused to remove them. Other frustrating things included the feeling of being back in junior high school: coworkers would gossip behind each other's backs, exclude others, and spread rumors unchecked by management. Unhealthy leadership occurred: Managers would rely on micromanagement and public humiliation to “motivate” employees and maintain control. Whenever I made an error, I was punished with shame rather than using it as a learning opportunity. Whenever I and others would make suggestions on how to make a process better, we were ignored.
