      Stay away

      Network engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      After a while, they rotate you around with different groups to keep things interesting. Pay was ok. Quite accommodating to people who were dying. There was row of hover-round type electric carts on the ground floor with slots for oxygen tanks. If you can make it there for 30 years, you can retire at 80% pay. After you are there for a while, as long as you show up, your boss cannot tell you what to do. Not so subject to business cycles as non-government jobs.

      Cons

      Rampant waste had me thinking about joining the Tea Party. If you have worked in business before, you should probably stay away.

      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.
