government job, hard to keep your numbers up due to high call volume and sometimes arbitrary changes to the process.

Cons

Stressful dealing with deadlines and negative situations

Cons

Many departments have formed so-called 'cliques' (like the ones in high school), walking around the office, spreading gossip and actually pointing fingers at the person they're talking about, making it obvious. This of course creates a hostile work environment. Unfortunately these cliques can sometimes include Supervisors and the Managers.

Cons

I received very poor training from a supervisor who really was not cutout for her job. She had just been promoted to her position, her assistant was on medical leave and she had two new employees to train. We did not even get training on the integrated computer system/software until we had been on the job 3 months. I was experienced in my field and a mature worker with good work ethic so I figured much out on my own and took ownership of the position. The office structure in my department was like a morgue, few employees to talk to and not even one to have lunch with. This on top of the lack of training was frustrating and very depressing. I quit after 3 months. I might have soldiered through but I was also caring for a sick family member at home and having to deal with such a cold depressive atmosphere at that plant was more then I was willing to continue to subject myself to.

Cons

Not innovative, not challenging, not cutting edge.

Cons

inflexible schedule, bureaucracy, politics, empire builders, lack of dead weight removal
