Vantaggi
Federal job - pension, holidays, health insurance.
Svantaggi
Almost everything! The workload is horrendous. The training department is corrupt. If employees knew their rights and had a lawyer on hand, this place would be sued nonstop. Where do I even begin? Sexual harassment, hostility toward LGBTQ community, reprisal, racism, nepotism, favoritism, and massive abuse of resources. They are still functioning like it’s the 1980s. Good ol boy networks and plenty of women enabling it to continue on this way. People with no prior experience and no professionalism desperate to hold on to their power (GS). Promotion based on who you know, not what you know. A horribly corrupt place that is representative of everything wrong in the government. If you are young, don’t step foot in there. It will be the worst decision you ever make and you’ll get dependent on the “security” of the pay and leave. If you happen to take this job, just get your GS and IMMEDIATELY start looking for other federal jobs. There is so much more out there and they don’t want you to know. Do your research because everyone says the same things. Would not recommend.
