Pros

Work from home (unless changed since the return to work has been reinstated). If you are an introvert, this is a perfect career path as all you do is write!

Cons

If you are an extrovert, this probably is not the job for you!

Pros

You provide friendly review of disability appeals to the American public.

Cons

Constant pressure to move decisions and schedule more hearings while the management is reducing force and encouraging others to leave Federal Service. Attrition was high in 2025 and with a hiring freeze in place for 2026.
