Pros

Flexible Working Hours and Credit Hours. Weekend Overtime Opportunity. Convenient Location if you don't like to travel to Seattle for a federal employment.

Cons

Inexperienced Management. Supervisors don't know the job and afraid of talking to judges. No Promotion Potential. A lot of work with no appreciation.

Pros

Federal benefits, pay isn't too bad (especially if you stick with it GS 11) .

Cons

Most of the four month training was a waste and didn't teach us how to do the job (was based on a different job), changes to procedure almost hourly, more work than you can handle (but then they give you more and ask you why you're behind), low morale etc.

Meaningful work, but can wear you down.

Pros

You really get to help some people. It's touching.

Cons

You never lose a claimant. You'll be answering questions from them for years. Every week you get 30 more claimants. It adds up, and eventually you can't keep up with the follow-ups.
