IT Problems trickle down to worker level. - Business/Financial/Budget Analyst US Defense Logistics Agency Employee Review

3.0

Pros

Benefits, feeling of an important mission, job security, potential mobility between career and geographic areas, retirement benefits and, recently, some increased flexibility with flex-place and family leave kinds of arrangements.

Cons

Very dysfunctional computer systems (many separate, disconnected systems) that have not been well designed or maintained. Employees are continually pressured to develop "work arounds" to save Management from the admittedly difficult task of dealing directly with the real problems. Increasingly, there are racial conflicts within the workforce.

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gut feeling of making a big mistake when I saw that the standard operating procedures (SOPs) in the shared files were outdated and management refused to remove them.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