Pros

They consistently promote the need to enhance vital skills such as communication, teamwork, analytical, and time-management skills. There are a variety of GS university courses offered to help employees do this. We have one on ones scheduled with our team leaders and direct managers every 2 weeks where we can discuss any topics that we would like. Topics include feedback on performance, goals, current processes/functions we are working on, etc. Working here, you will definitely come out refined and ready to work anywhere.

Cons

The hours are the only drawback that I can see. Although there is flexibility with vacation days, the amount of hours worked seem to shadow any leisure time you may have.

Pros

Flexibilility in time off. No limits on the time you take (i.e. 3 times in a 3 month period, then you are written up). Noone asks why you are taking the time. Training is top notch and the name will open doors for you. Advnacement is touted, but you really have to earn it.

Cons

They are quick to lay off. Your really have to prove yourself. They are extremely task oriented, but ate the same time there is alot of favoritism and if you are not within the clique, then you have limited potential.
