Social Security Administration reviews

Angry customers, unprofessional management, promotions are given to favorites and based on who you know. The TSC is the most hated place to work. You will definitely get stuck working in that department. So don’t even expect to be promoted.

Decision writing is not a highly sought after nor easily transferable skill. Forget what you heard about lazy federal employees. They don’t work here. Get your unfavorable draft in in ten hours and your favorables in under four, or else you’ll get PIP’d. Doesn’t matter if the file is 2100 pages and the ALJ’s instructions are a frowney face. This means if you don’t do roughly a decision a day, your job is on the line. Management knows the quotas are brutal. They’re uninterested in your complaints. Upper management is looking at your unit through the lens of production bar graphs and line charts. They have no qualms turning their decisions into people. Union is always playing defense. Depending you might have a great rep or you might have someone four towns over.
