Interesting Work
DRR Specialist (Current Employee), MWTSO –
Pros: excellent benefits, work life balance
Cons: compensation is low, however the benefits make up for it.
Work with a great team of individuals, majority focused on the mission, not personal agenda. Organization is Mission Driven, not Profit Driven, does take some getting used to vs. private sector.
The work is interesting, learning the inter workings of finanicial institution and having the opportunity to examine a failed financial institution with the – more...  benefit of hindsight. Unfortunately, as a temporary employee, no job security and no job placement for other vacant positions. Need to compete on open job market. – less

FDIC
AUDITOR (Former Employee), Houston, TX –
Pros: learning i did not like deep sea fishing
Cons: work was repetitive
I was not cut out for this job but did not know until I did it. The work was pretty much the same every week. Go to a new bank and perform an audit.

I have worked in the banking industry during the past two decades. I though I knew a lot until I went to work at the FDIC. I have learned a whole other side banking; the regularatory side.

Some interesting work but heavily laden with government deficiencies
DRR Specialist (Current Employee), Dallas, TX –
Pros: stable workplace, excellent non-monetary benefits, great work-life balance
Cons: poor pay, mediocre colleagues, incredible amount of red-tape
The talent level is widely variable. Projects can range from interesting to mindless. Progression is very difficult due to US government preference (by law) for military veterans. Suggestions for efficiency improvements are not supported and in some cases may hinder one's career.

General Clerk III (Former Employee), Virginia –
Pros: career opportunities, career advancement, professionalenvironment
Cons: tight schedules
During my tenure as a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Contractor I took advantage of the opportunities to excel in my work and was recognized and rewarded for my efforts by both the employees of FDIC and my Company. I was encouraged to continue to excel in my career as a top performer. I highly recommend FDIC as an exciting place to work – more...  and grow. – less
