Pros

Federal holidays off? That's really about it.

Cons

DLA consistently ignored warnings that the decisions made by a contracted service provider would negatively impact It Operations and the ability of DLA to support the Warfighter. While doing so, they consistently threw the ESD under the bus while allowing the contractor who controlled our funding to cut our funding to the point that we had to cut half of our staff. And then turned around and blamed ESD for long turnaround on resolving IT issues. Pat yourselves on the back for hiring disabled people. Just don't pretend that you didn't tread all over a large group of us.

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gut feeling of making a big mistake when I saw that the standard operating procedures (SOPs) in the shared files were outdated and management refused to remove them.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.
