A waste of my time

Pros

Insurance benefits and retirement benefits, if you stay that long

Cons

The pay for entry level is extremely low. I was told I would be at one location and with 5 days notice they sent me to another which added an HOUR to my commute. I was told I’d be using my foreign language skills - instead I was given excel spreadsheets that took me a month to complete. Career advancement is almost impossible because they hire every manager as prior service and DONT promote from within. The culture is contrary to their mission. Coworkers won’t help you out or show you the proper way to do something. Then management complains.

Pros

-Work is limited to a 40 hour work week which makes for a good work-life balance -You can use 3 of your 40 work hours for working out (civilian fitness program)

Cons

-Poor management, often caused by military leadership changing out often and lack of understanding of the mission -Low starting pay (difficult to get hired above a GG-10) -Workload can get really heavy, but overtime is rarely approved so you need to fit it all into a 40 hour work week -Old work spaces (dirty, cramped), but they are trying to renovate parts of the building to make it better, but it will be a long project -Doesn't like change/likes the status quo
