Business Outlook

Pros

The Federal Highway Administration pay decent wages, but the work is stifling and most the time, even if you have a high GS level, you are nothing more than a glorified date input person.

Cons

Excessive gossip Managers play favorites, and send favorites on trips, etc. The organization lacks merit based promotions Arbitrary management Management does not like new ideas and is afraid of change Stuck in the past Management indiscretions are hidden, not punished
