Pros

Most of the people are nice. Working environment has little to no pressure. Lack of direction and lack of work means stress free environment

Cons

Some age old GSA veterans(mainly women, sorry but it is true) are frustrated and freely vent their emotions on others. People just dont seem to know their stuff, their roles and responsibilities. The managers are laid back and are essentially have their eyes on retirement constantly.

Pros

Consistent promotions that I can count on at this point, job security, good health benefits, retirement plan, they pay for my public transportation

Cons

Even if you do a stellar job (anywhere in the government) you can only be promoted up one grader per year.

Pros

If you are part of the 80% that do no work, it is a great way to ride the wave.

Cons

No management support. Do a good job and receive more tasks although you will potentially be promoted. Many managers dump on employees and try to make sure other offices do not pick up the good help (this involves a simple phone call). In bureaucracy, making people happy and "getting along" is always far more important than performance. At this point, most of the capable employees in the Washington area (the Washington field office) have retired or moved on due to the aforementioned patterns of behavior. If you slack off, this can be a place where your style is quite acceptable.
