Current Employee – been working at US Department of Veterans Affairs full-time for less than a year

Pros – Great benefits; flex hrs; great training; great advancement opportunities if you're a veteran.

Cons – Hard to get a position if you're not currently an employee/veteran/other gov't employee. Leadership is lacking. Change is not accepted very well. Some of management thinks they are still in the military (literally barking out orders) and yelling and belittling other employees in front of one another.

Advice to Senior Management – We are all people, which means we can all learn and benefit from each other. If management commands more of their employees, they should first command more of themselves.
