Pros

Everyone cares about the agency mission and it is awe-inspiring. Your work is limited to your office hours and you aren't expected to answer off the clock.

Cons

Managers are stuck in the old ways; our telecommuting policy supports 50% remote, however, you may not get access to the full allowance if your supervisor feels strongly about you being in the office, even if all your duties are fully digital. Additionally, I noticed a heavy reliance on younger/less established staff to perform office coverage while senior managers performed their duties from home to the fullest extent. Depending on who your manager is you will have to pry for feedback or for your annual performance review to be provided to you in a timely manner.

Pros

-There was plenty of time off. - Workdays were 7.5hrs (paid lunch). - I worked with some great and fun people. - I really enjoyed my work here and felt like I was making a difference. - Good benefits

Cons

- Salary is significantly less than private sector. This is what ultimately caused me to leave. - As a union employee, I was subject to contract negotiations. A 2% or 3% annual increase was the norm. - Lots of "driftwood". There is no incentive to work hard. You get the same benefits if you don't work hard and there are no consequences. - There isn't much room for growth. Promotions are within the civil service structure. This can make getting ahead more difficult. It can also result in less qualified individuals getting promoted. -Bureacracy
