      Senior Counsel - Senior Counsel SEC Employee Review

      4.0
      Feb 27, 2025
      Senior counsel
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are good when not frozen by admin/ appropriations. Salary is less than private sector/ law firm but more than other agencies. The trade off was worth it for the guaranteed tour of duty (8.5 hours daily) and work-life-balance.

      Cons

      Salary and benefits subject to appropriations. Can make 50% more in private sector. Loss of work-life-balance, salary increases, and benefits (8% match is gone, FEHB keeps increasing, stipends gone) mean job no longer offers anything private sector doesn’t.

      Pros

      Things have changed under the current Republican administration, but the SEC has always been known as a great place to work with the highest salaries in the federal government and very family friendly

      Cons

      Current share seems to actively hate his employees
