Defense Finance and Accounting Service Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Government employment Work life balance Onsite gym/cafeteria

Cons

Red tape, Inefficient, Unfulfilling, Culture, Poor leadership

Pros

DFAS serves the men and woman of our military.

Cons

Senior managers get too focused on production at the sacrifice of customer service and employee work/life balance.

Pros

-Health Benefits -Work/Life balance -Wounded vets can sleep at work

Cons

Poor management, poor employee morale, illegal things such as harassment is tolerated at this workplace. Training is the worst, I literally read a book for my first six months there. Long-time employees refuse to pass on knowledge. Technical skills are focused on too much with lack of focus on communication skills, leadership, and critical thinking; I would not recommend this organization to anyone!

Pros

work life balance is good, never take work home

Cons

No matte how well you do or how hard you work all they care about is time spent at the job when trying to advance.

Pros

This is a government position so it comes with decent benefits, including more leave than most civilian employers.

Cons

DFAS Limestone suffers from an obsession with production numbers. Nothing else matters. We recently received notice that we will be working mandatory overtime 2 Saturdays per month during the months of June, July, and Aug. After that we go into fiscal year end mode when we work mandatory overtime daily for two months. There is no work/life balance in this organization. It is easy to get a foot into the door of federal service here because there is always churn.
