Office of Civilian Human Resources
Pros
- Everyone wants the benefits of being a federal worker. - Growth opportunities. - If you have a good boss, there are a lot of pros and you'll find that out right away. - There are few souls here that you'll meet who are helpful, kind, personable and stay positive. You will know right away who those people are.
Cons
- POLITICS. - You're greeted by seeing "CEO" Trump's orange mugshot on the wall each day you come in to work. Run away as fast as you can. - Turn over rate in the Staffing department is high. - Not all branch heads know how to be good supervisors. There are few that are great and you will know first hand by seeing how many of their staff have remained and look happy to be there. - You either get a job here through connections, favoritism and politics. Not everyone that's currently working here has military experience, a vet, military spouse or currently in school for human resources. There's a loophole to get you in. FACT! - Office gossip is normal here. There are pockets of employees who complain constantly to others about other employees and their work. You can sadly hear this just by sitting in your cubicle space, while in the restrooms and break rooms. Stay far away from those energy vampires. - At any time, you may be placed in a different department doing something else depending on their needs. - Lack of communication
