Social Security Administration reviews

Management is completely inept and out of touch with employees. Work hard and you'll be rewarded with a pat on the back every now and then but nothing else. Middling employees who have been there for years and continuously mess up work will get paid twice what you do. Work is stressful and depressing. Avoid at all costs.

The pay grade and salary for some positions does not fully compensate for the level of work that the employee is responsible for and expected to handle on a daily basis...particularly for Service Representatives and Claims Representatives in the field offices and the Tele-service Representatives who answer the 800 number calls. There is a HUGE amount of nepotism, favoritism and employee discrimination in particular, that has occurred due to these practices within the past four years. So much so that the agency was investigated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) because of the extremely high amount of employee discrimination cases filed against them. There is an article about the investigation that made it's way to the Baltimore Sun May 15, 2014. You can research it and read it for yourself.
