Now retired after 26 years not by choice - Director US Farm Service Agency Employee Review

Excellent job to have while raising a family. Maxi-flex schedule (9 on, 1 off) is very helpful for doctor appointments to not use up sick time.

Under hiring freezes, oftentimes working understaffed to meet numerous program details.

Benefits and Job security are very strong. Transparent path of pay growth. Work is fairly straightforward, and when done well can make an actual difference in people’s lives.

Getting hired in general is difficult, and getting into management is more so. I was not a fan of the overall agency social culture.
