Pros

It is a Federal Government job for all it's worth.

Cons

I cannot really use it to get other Federal Positions and upward mobility is nearly impossible due to the nepotism and preferential treatment within the facility and utter disregard for whatever skills may make our work more profitable for them higher up. Work is scarce right now and, even though I have worked there since May 2006, I was still scheduled only 2 days this month because I had to take 2 weeks off for a family reunion (vacation which I really did not take in 12 years). They also have their own ambiguous criteria for training for surveys and there is no law against it--discrimination or retaliation is nearly impossible to prove.

I worked as a enumerator manager and it was fun work! My employees were fun and my managers were knowledgeable.

It would've been nice to still offer PPE.

Pros

Worthwhile work to benefit the city you are working in. Most everyone I worked with was pretty nice and willing to lend a hand if needed. But I feel like I saw the other side of how upper management treats people they don't like as much and i saw aspects that weren't as good through upper managements treatment of others.

Cons

Constantly changing directives from upper management. And they don't have your back when you get questioned why you followed the most recent order from your boss. Inconsistent pay scales by position. Pay varies by location. But they don't adjust it upward. If you hire on in a city that pays less, you don't get a bump if you stay with the company and work in a new city that pays better in your next assignment. Meaning new hires with no experience can easily make more than you because they started in the city that pays more. One of my best employees was paid the least. I felt bad and tried to get their rate adjusted with no luck. It very much has the vibe of they are figuring out things as they go, The department is grossly understaffed. Technology is lacking creating inefficiencies.
