First line supervising
Apr 12, 2023 - Branch Chief in Rockville, MDRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
NRC has a lot of hard working and technically competent staff. As a branch chief, you serve as the first line supervisor for approximately 9-13 employees. Branch chiefs get to provide direct support for employee growth and development.
Cons
Branch chiefs often are the whipping board when it comes to getting work done. They also have to deal with personnel issues at the lowest level (employees).

Great place overall, just no hands on work
Sep 22, 2022 - Summer Intern in Rockville, MDRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
You'll learn there is an amazing work-life balance working for the government. Superior job security, and lots of room for growth. The work itself is super noble and valuable for the country and the community is every growing and diversifying. Everyone is super friendly and I would love to go back. The internship was also hybrid which was super nice.
Cons
Things move a bit slow there, it's all mostly technical documentation review, not really making or designing anything. The office is sometimes very empty and things can seem boring. The internship moves kind of slow and a lot of tasks can seem redundant.

Refusal to Acknowledge that Telework is the Future
Aug 2, 2022 - Senior Project Manager in King of Prussia, PARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Pretty good work/life balance, decent pay and benefits
Cons
Senior management fails to recognize the recruiting potential of offering more telework. We fairly recently got a new head of HR who has taken us back roughly 10-15 years in telework policy. Many people have left for places that offer full time telework, as the agency practically refuses to offer it, except for arbitrarily chosen employees

Pros
Flexible work schedule and holidays
Cons
You deal with a lot of politics
