Pros

Fairly smooth hiring process. Manager had good professionalism and understanding. Decent amount of training. There are opportunities to climb up the ladder. Good cause in helping people navigate government benefits.

Cons

Understaff. Outdated systems were frustrating to work with as they were not user friendly and unreliable at times. Information and policies change often. Training could use an update as questions we received are often not covered in the training. Highly stressful work environment that needs a lot of patience and emotional capacity as clients/customers often get irate and verbally abusive. Information can be conflicted and not clear from one rep to another.

Pros

The Program Expert (PE - direct supervisor) and my Branch Chief (Manager) were amazing. Those two individuals bent over backwards to try to get me the RAs I needed, and were honestly the only reason I stayed as long as I did. They were super nice and supportive, but it ended up being a bad fit for me. My Branch Chief did also allow me OT as Comp Time, up to 11 hours per day, to complete my workload, which I took full advantage of.

Cons

I have a disability that causes me to work much slower - about twice as long to complete my workload - as other employees. I took my appeal for reasonable accommodations to the National Reasonable Accommodations Coordinator (NRAC) at the time. I submitted updated medical information towards my appeal. I got a letter from the NRAC that due to the updated medical information, I was "no longer qualified" for my position. Since they only have to give RAs to "qualified" employees, I was fired the same day I received that letter.
