Pros

- Job security - People (not management) are generally great - 401k match - If you are clever, you can pretty much do nothing and do well there

Cons

- Stressful with little reward - Management plays favorites - Salary (each raise funnels salaries to the same amount as everyone else in your pay grade regardless of effort put in) - Paid time off is below market standard - No paid maternity / paternity leave - Forced to work overtime (sometimes paid) - You will not learn anything useful to progress your career - The only way you get promoted is after a fixed amount of time and you are one of their favorites - Promotion opportunities are limited - If you work there too long, you will not be marketable anywhere else - Parking is really bad

Pros

This is a last resort job if you can’t find anything else

Cons

The processes and systems in place to get the job done is dismal. There is no official training for the job role. If you make suggestions and try to be helpful you are seen as a threat by management. There is rarely any cross functional communication. It feels like they want things to take a long time and be wrong so that they can charge the govt. more money. (Bc every task you do will have a charge number). Most long timers at the company don’t care about the work being done inefficiently either, bc they have a reason for overtime. Very weird corporate politics / favoritism. (I have never seen it as bad as it is here). Parking is terrible at every location.
