Pros

Many different divisions that each can offer great opportunity to grow through cross-training within the enterprise level, through mentorship programs offered by the headquarters, and on the job training.

Cons

If upper management likes you, you're golden! Otherwise, you may create a target on your back if you constantly find yourself disagreeing with leadership's decisions. Every since we had this portfolio director who came from the private sector, things had went downhill as far as quality in the manager roles. My department had long gone stopped using the DEI for employment method for few years now; it's been based on the good old boys/girls club and nepotism. Because of that, many new managers got hired not based on their merit and not based on experience (they don't have the experience needed). With a Manager not knowing what s/he is doing, and on top of that not seeking to learn, all of the heavy of decision-making falls on the team such Manager is leading. Plus, these Managers are making requests and deadlines that unrealistic. I wish DOGE had a system that could screen out these type of managers and have them step aside to let the most qualified lead instead.

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gut feeling of making a big mistake when I saw that the standard operating procedures (SOPs) in the shared files were outdated and management refused to remove them.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