Rote work; Decent pay - Anonymous employee Social Security Administration Employee Review

Career advancement is virtually non-existent. For example, promotions are few and far between. SSA-ODAR says that it is not a "numbers' organization, but it is. Promotions are based on high producers, which are normally people cranking out 4-5 cases a today without any real substantive analysis. Detail opportunities are also reserved for a "chosen" few. I would say that the analyst job is great for someone who has no aspirations of career advancement and enjoys rote work.
