Good people but be prepared for politics - Risk Management Specialist US Risk Management Agency Employee Review

Pros

The staff are overall great, you get to help farmers, benefits are good and pay is decent

Cons

Each new administration brings with it pet projects that they often want accomplished under unrealistic timelines. Sometimes things such as staffing levels and work/life balance gets political. Poor performers rarely see any meaningful consequences. Pay is based on tenure rather than skill/performance. Pay raises that require an adjustment to the pay tables literally take an act of Congress.

Pros

Work/life balance. Great benefits. Alternate work schedules and generous leave.

Cons

A lot of travel to rural areas. Unless someone retires or leaves, there is no chance to move up. It helps if you have experience in agriculture. Takes about 5 years for you to feel like you're not treading water. No specific job training
