Business Outlook

Pros

Smart down to earth people, flexible work environment, great benefits (agency matches 401 contributions from employee up to a certain amount)

Cons

Agency needs stronger leadership/more skills management at all levels to resolve longtime performance problems among employees. Managers don't have the skills to bridge turf wars; department-to-department conflicts go on too long without effective & timely resolution.

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall the benefits are good and the pay is good too. Ability to work a flex schedule like a 9/80 or four tens is possible in some positions.

Cons

Called this review 'old school' because they do not allow even part time telecommuting options. Also enforcing a dress code that includes no jeans and a collared shirt for a cubicle worker is just plain silly.
