Pros

Love the people, the "meaningful purpose" and the good-hearted thinkers. Very smart people who are trying to maximize security and health of America. Genuinely nice people who really feel committed to their ideals and work for less pay that their for-profit counterparts because the ideas and "karma" are so important.

Cons

There are many micro-cultures that don't always stay in sync. Everyone is heroic in their job, but don't always spend the time to value the contributions of others - but I think this is improving through a current reorg. The world and government is changing so fast and management is trying to pivot with it - and this creates communication lags and further loss of sync.

Pros

The benefits are good, but don't even come close to balancing out the lack of pay, chance for promotions, or growth in any aspect. I'm actively looking to leave do the recent management shifts or constant broken promises by managers.

Cons

Employees are well underpaid by industry standards. Only seeks to promote wealthy, older, white, typically male, employees. Has no desire to promote from within departments. Cannibalizes teams to reduce the staff that actually does the work so middle managers can get raises.

We're sorry to hear that you're so unhappy. We have a strong commitment to diversity, demonstrated by our CEO recently joining local and national efforts to address issues such as inclusion and pay equity in the workplace. We haven't seen any indication that particular groups of staff members aren't being promoted.

Pros

Great pay and benefits some of the best I've seen. Company definitely gives employees the opportunity to improve their skills.

Cons

Too competitive resulting in unethical behavior. Some upper level management seem to endorse this behavior. Need to spend time deterring this type of behavior.
