      No Accountability Within Management

      Pros

      You get a pay check.

      Cons

      Toxic work environment. The problem with this agency is accountability. Non-managers continue to get assigned as scapegoats on behalf of management to disguise the real issue(s). The culture within the agency is not very progressive. Communication within this agency is non-existent and as a result there is so much unneeded duplication of services. When incompetent leaders are held accountable for their actions/in-actions and until this agency is brought back to reality this agency will continue to operate and base it's mission on delusions. If you have integrity this place will not be for you.

      Government at its worst...

      Pros

      Unique mission, occasionally intellectually stimulating, diverse workforce, travel opportunities, career changes available and encouraged if you're not happy with your current tract.

      Cons

      Terrible pay for anyone that doesn't play "the game", few promotions, fewer awards, little recognition, poor moral (and declining since 2009), bad management, inefficient government processes, dirty politics (internal and from executive), death by a million cuts from just a generally lousy working environment.
