Pros
Good pay and ok benefits relative to other agencies A lot of decent and genuine people driving the mission
Cons
Lots of SLOGANS! but apart from launching yet another initiative there is little to show the so-called values actually guide their action. examples -Ineffectual and straight up fraudster (and vindictive) mgr who has a (well meaning but oblivious) boss under their thumb, so lots and lots of pointless busy-work (Sure .gov products are not copyrighted but doesn't mean you just cut and paste whole sections and present it as something original) yet RESPECT! BEHAVIOR! INTEGRITY! - Prevarication reigns - changing goal posts i.e. lying -a pilot that midway becomes 'no we haven't started' and 'anyway its not a pilot', yet COMMUNICATION! INTEGRITY! - Whole unit quits because of clueless and toxic mgr yet Agency leaders allow boss to do nothing for over a year yet ACCOUNTABILITY! - Vindictively revoking a policy that allows remote work before it could go in effect knowing some employees situations yet FAIR! "Our employees are our greatest resource"!
