Pros
Good benefit package with lots of paid time off. 8 hrs x mo vacation & 8 hrs x mo sick time, plus all the paid holidays & 4 personal days. Yes! 28 days paid per year plus holidays!
Cons
Politics! Inequalities! Nepotism & cronyism. To advance in this agency you must either know someone in leadership or be willing to be a quiet observer. Leadership is not representative of the staff. Disproportionately white male dominated!
Advice to Management
Practice what you preach! You need diversity and cultural sensitivity.

Cons
The institution does not reach outside for research and methods of how to change or improve their policies or rules. They simply recycle old, internal ideas over and over again.
