Benefits Pay Co Workers Bosses

Cons

Dealing with public can be hard and red tape

Pros

Great agency to work for; good people top to bottom.

Cons

Some slightly myopic policy in regards to IT and the red tape that comes with being a Federal agency can be a real nightmare. Their telework policy is a problem as well.

Pros

Great people. I learned a lot from my boss and coworkers, as they were always willing to answer my questions

Cons

A government job, so comes with the expected red tape, and other cons that come with any government job

Pros

Great perks and good learning experience

Cons

Bureaucracy is insane - red tape is everywhere. Nobody is willing to be interesting or creative or come up with new ideas. Do your work and keep your head down; there's no point in being original or working hard because everyone moves up at a snails point. Pointless work all the time with occasional assignments worth your time.

Pros

Professional Development Opportunities were always available

Cons

It's the government.. Lots of red tape.

Pros

Work Life Balance, good leave, telworking

Cons

salary cap, red tape, public scrutiny

Pros

Good salary and benefits as well as opportunities for promotions throughout your career. Opportunity to help rural residents and develop communities.

Cons

Huge workload and difficult to meet timeframes as required by government regulations. A lot of red tape on every project.
