Pros

I worked for Code 950, Shop 67. The management is very family oriented, and empathetic and understanding of personal needs. If you are honest and cool headed, you will make nice friends and lasting relationships with co workers. There is also a lot of room and space for advancing up the chain and moving into places that best suit you. Worker safety is a TOP priority here. They encourage good relationships between management and worker, they encourage a learning system from the "bottom- up", a good work place environment and ethics.

Cons

Can be tiring, demanding, and dirty. Some work environments can be dangerous. Politics and social clicks sometimes form.

Pros

Decent pay, always full time, great benefits, they are really good about hiring vetrans.

Cons

If you don't like working overtime this job isn't for you. You can sometimes get told to work off station for 1-4 months with little notice.

Pros

The pay to work ratio approaches infinity. I did practically nothing 8 hours a day, and periodically there would be a project emergency that would require 12 hours a day 6 days a week of doing nothing. That was at time and a half plus night pay. The health care benefits and retirement matching in the thrift savings plan were exceptional.

Cons

The endless maze of paperwork, check-sheets and copying and pasting old technical work documents never ended. The training was non-existent, and the routine answer to any question was, "well, I don't know, but we did it like that last time" The building we worked in leaked, and all of the furnishings were provided by the lowest bidder. The toilet paper was transparent, and lacked the minimum tensile strength to even be pulled from the roll. If there were ever a case study to validate the Pareto principle PSNS would be it. I witnessed senior department managers take 2 hour naps after lunch, and a majority of the personnel here were entitled, lazy, and generally worthless. Luckily I took off before receiving my GS-12 or I would have become another statistic for white-collar welfare.
