      Pros

      Pay has the potential to be good. I am pleased with our mission, although I wouldn't necessarily correlate that with morale as the rating here does.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy and lack of leadership and direction. All time is spent cutting through red tape, and very little time is spent doing the important work. Millions of government dollars are wasted on paperwork. I know there must be acountability, but risk will never be reduced to zero. Let's trim the "do nothings", streamline the paperwork, put dollars towards real improvement and not superficial programs to appease the bureaucrats.

      Pros

      - Four 10-hour workdays weekly, plus time balancing - Very strong job security - Work-life balance is very good - Work culture is good, the people are very down-to-earth and relaxed - The work supports an important, meaningful mission

      Cons

      - DoE work pacing is very slow at times - Opaque promotion system that seemingly rewards less experienced new hires much more than long-term employees, with respect to time in grade
