Pros

Being able to help veterans and their families was the ultimate reward. Lots of time off: every federal holiday, birthday and day after Thanksgiving plus comp time, vacation and sick leave. Annual weeklong training in FL

Cons

Poorly trained managers who supported their boss rather than their employees. No moral or emotional support from company considering it's a very emotionally intense job. No support with marketing items, secretaries, or office expenses. Pay for reg employees SUCKS while upper management gets bonuses every year. Extremely political environment. If you're not liked you're a target. Low pay results in high turnover and less experienced service officers to help veterans.

Pros

Flexible and fairly laid back

Cons

At the time, 5+ years ago, the place was not the cleanest. Since I believe they have replaced the carpets but when I worked there there would be leaks from the ceiling soaking into the carpet everyday.
