Peter Principle writ large - Clinician Defense Health Agency Employee Review

Pros

* Excellent Mission * Great idea (in theory) - the Services need to reduce their medical corps size * Great chance to serve

Cons

* Incompetent middle management runs amok because the leadership is consumed with chaos and putting out fires. Many in the Medical Corps achieve their rank by reason of education, not leadership experience. Just because they have rank, it does not follow that they can actually lead a team. * Satellite locations are ignored / only payed lip service, but left out of actual leadership decision. (Also, most of us could care less about parking at DHHQ. Stop talking about it at All DHA Town Halls.) * No opportunities for promotion within the agency unless you want to live in DC.
