US Department of Treasury Reviews

Pros

Amazing mission, passionate people and some great opportunities

Cons

Budget issues with federal government, organizational chaos

Pros

Amazing mission, smart people, interesting work. Decent benefits.

Cons

Long hours, overly political, very hierarchial.

Pros

Working for the Federal Government has many advantages, such as structured environment, job security (sometimes) and a good benefit package.

Cons

Politics, if you do not play well with others, it can cost your career

Pros

Benefits (insurance and retirement) are really good. Generally nice, competent coworkers too

Cons

Pay is lower than the private sector and there are long hours

Pros

Stability Relationships built with team members Fast pace No micromanagement Average benefits

Cons

Limited growth opportunity Limited salary increases

Pros

Lots of free time to chill.

Cons

There are five economists in the office and three interns. The interns are unpaid and have very little work to do because there are so few economists. You will spend your summer sitting around doing very little work. Oh and by the way, they give you an exploding offer when hiring interns. Don't be afraid to reject them because you will be doing nothing of value in this office.

Pros

I gained administrative skills to support intergovernmental and international projects. I also worked on some interesting topics ranging from disaster mitigation to terrorist financing.

Cons

Sometimes a little slow or boring, but compared to other internships, I was given much more responsibility. At times, I was even treated as full-time staff in terms of responsibilities.

Pros

Lots of time off, flexible work schedule.

Cons

Management are well aware of employee concerns but do little to address them.
