    Current Employee, more than 10 years

    Solid, Consistent Job

    Jul 8, 2022 - Administrative Assistant in Atlanta, GA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Consistency; lack of drama; steady raises and employee reviews; great benefits, including very fair sick leave; decent amount of space for promotion

    Cons

    Although there's a decent amount of space for promotion, it's not great, but it really depends on what unit/department you work for; not a lot of space for creativity or edginess. If you want those things, do not choose a job in the Federal Judiciary.

    Hard work is rewarded. Challenging in the beginning but becomes monotonous fast. Good experience for recent grads.

    Cons

    Strong gossip culture. If a CM, critical, innovative thinking is not valued and is perceived as a threat. Promotions based on brown-nosing rather than performance. Uninspiring and unambitious supervisors.
