Pros
The agency has a good mission and many wonderful employees dedicated to that mission. Benefits are top of the line. Employees are encouraged to develop. Good hours.
Cons
Starting pay is low. Little flexibility for working parents. Requests for teleworking, flexible schedules are not accommodated. Zero accountability for under-performing or incompetent staff. Nepotism rampant, old management extremely adverse to new ways of thinking. Size of bureaucracy and risk adverse thinking makes modernization of the agency unlikely to happen any time soon. Lack of permanent positions means the best non-managerial staff leave, while the least motivated hang around the longest.
