      High Levels of Employee Despair

      Social insurance specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A good place for those without high levels of education who just want a paycheck without working too hard. Flexible work hours, guaranteed time off, high salaries for non-professionals, guaranteed employment.

      Cons

      Very disfunctional. Poor management. Culture of low expectations and achievement. Limited promotional potential. Quality work not expected or recognized. Just a very sad work environment. High levels of employee despair. Employees not empowered. Not a good option for professionals who want to satisfy thier potential. Management promotes poor performers just to get them out of that department.

      Attorney work for the Social Security Administration is not real attorney work.

      Attorney advisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Federal benefits are great. Automatic pay increases are clearly explained. We were allowed to dress business casual every day since we never left our cubicles.

      Cons

      The work is boring and monotonous. You'll be doing the same work in year 15 as you do on your first day. It's not real attorney work so the longer you stay, the more pigeon-holed you become.

      Desert of Integrity!

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None! Don't walk....run to another job!

      Cons

      No merit-based promotions. The top 10% of performers do at least 80% of the work. Vilification of employees with integrity, intelligence, ideas, and strong work ethic. The incompetent and unethical rise to the top. No transparency. No accountability.
