Vantaggi
Benefits are great and since they reclassified all program technicians to program analysts, the pay is great since you now have a latter up to CO9
Svantaggi
If you're in an understaffed office, the workload can be overwhelming. Things can quickly get crazy when there's a major weather disaster and you need to start implementing disaster programs. FSA doesn't seem able to properly prepare their employees for implementing programs, but this could potentially vary depending on what state you're in. Overall, I wouldn't recommend working for FSA unless they made some major improvements to really support their employees. The programs could use a lot of improvements, too. You might do a ton of work for a disaster assistance program applicant, only to have the program pay the applicant a few dollars in the end and the applicant may even get angry for it.
