Poor Leadership and toxic work environment

Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

Flexible work hours, good pay and benefits. Great opportunities for people of diverse backgrounds.

Cons

Poor Leadership and Decision Making creates chaotic environment where constant change increases stress on employees. Hiring and promotion practices since implementing a new level of bureaucracy known as "Career Services" has wreaked havoc on the career paths and promotion opportunities for employees. this changed the environment from filling jobs with best qualified and promoting based on the responsibilities associated with the job to a writing contest. An easy to maintain corporate resume was replaced with a pre-formatted computer based Integrated Talent Profile that takes a rediculous amount of time to produce. In the end promotions and job vacancies go to those with the best written ITP. Hence, we have a "Writing Contest" based promotion system that has not worked out well.

Pros

It's a decent place to work. Benefits are top notch naturally. Pay is good if you're in the DC area.

Cons

Not an ideal place for women looking to advance. You're likely to be passed over for men. If you're of childbearing years....forget about it. You'll never see a promotion. Sexism runs pretty rampant in the agency. If you have health problems, get ready to have issues and justifications from doctors. Otherwise, you're lying. Yes...lying about a life threatening illness. Because the average person will lie about that. Management is top heavy filled with people who won't retire and leave a $200k salary. Oh, and the dirtbags...they get promoted. Promote to get out. Then they'll be someone else's problem. Underperformers, nothing said. Just consider it lucky they showed up to work. And yes, they will be the ones promoted before you so they can be someone else's problem.
