Pros

You work for the federal government so there is job security

Cons

You are expected to do the "exact" same work/duties as co-workers earning as much as three times (3x) your pay with no possibility of ever reaching that salary level.

Pros

decent pay, some job security, time off and casual work environment. Office Monday is all football talk and no work.

Cons

favoritism, no results, boring tasks, feeling of not accomplishing anything. Pointless meetings, lots of throwing coworkers under the bus when a project doesnt work.

Pros

- Great benefits - Laidback environment - Cordial co-workers - Decent pay

Cons

- FAA not willing to invest in training for permanent employees, so permanent gov't workers tend to have less training than contractors who's parent companies' train employees before bidding them out. - Slow pace - Not enough work - IT Team leads become micromanagers from their lack of tasks - Uppers gossiping at w/i earshot (but that's everywhere) - Not alot of mid-rang career openings, only high up position so tons of FAA positions require grad degrees for promotion, since it's hard to have an opportunity to learn the job from more experienced people alone. - Not an information sharing type of environment. Veteran programmers hog the work to appear busy. Don't want to delegate and train. - Slow to learn newer programming languages/technology
