Horrible Employer and work environment
Pros
Benefits are really good. Salary is okay, but not competitive with private sector.
Cons
Constantly shifting priorities, too much work for understaffed organization, unrealistic expectations. Performance reviews are not constructive, but are used by management as a "stick" to punish discourage employees. Morale is very low. Haven't had real raises in over 10 years, despite budget increases. Overwhelming number of managers have never read a management book, taken a course on organizational behavior, or necessarily understand their role. There is a steady turnover of younger employees who move on to better jobs. Employees are retiring early because they are fed up. Most people I work with hate their job, hate their boss, and just try to stay under the radar.
