Pros

Healthcare and paid time off

Cons

Training is insufficient for the position. Mentors do not want assist in on the job training. I was told I had to be “hazed up” during training. Work culture is a mixture of Nepotism and cover your butt politics. Management is desperate for a check with no moral compass; they take no issue with lying on employees. The pay is not enough for the stress.

Pros

The Program Expert (PE - direct supervisor) and my Branch Chief (Manager) were amazing. Those two individuals bent over backwards to try to get me the RAs I needed, and were honestly the only reason I stayed as long as I did. They were super nice and supportive, but it ended up being a bad fit for me. My Branch Chief did also allow me OT as Comp Time, up to 11 hours per day, to complete my workload, which I took full advantage of.

Cons

I have a disability that causes me to work much slower - about twice as long to complete my workload - as other employees. I took my appeal for reasonable accommodations to the National Reasonable Accommodations Coordinator (NRAC) at the time. I submitted updated medical information towards my appeal. I got a letter from the NRAC that due to the updated medical information, I was "no longer qualified" for my position. Since they only have to give RAs to "qualified" employees, I was fired the same day I received that letter.
