      Pros

      There are some actually decent human beings who work here, but the bad ones outweigh the good folks they have

      Cons

      No work life balance, you will never get a raise (don’t even think about asking for one or you will be bullied), no bonuses, no commuter benefits, no work from home, Management is terrible, you will be micro managed every second of your day, if you take lunch you will be looked down on... Need I continue?

      Pros

      Good job for someone just out of college to get experience with the federal government and law enforcement. There are no incentives to stay long term & make it a career - no pay raises, no promotions, etc. But good for the resume and to get a foot in the door for federal positions. Also, position is good for retired law enforcement who are collecting their pension etc. but want to stay busy. The culture of the job is highly dependent on what agency you’re contracting for - DEA, FBI, ATF, USAO, etc. - & that specific office.

      Cons

      No pay raises. No promotions. Sub-par benefits.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective! We agree FSA can be a great springboard whether you’re early in your career or a retired law enforcement professional looking to stay engaged with meaningful work. As a government contractor, career advancement and pay are limited to the positions and locations our customers order; however, FSA provides a variety of professional development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement and training, and we work to increase pay whenever possible. If you have suggestions for improvement, we’d love to hear them; please email us at qc@fsafederal.com.
