Social Security Administration Employer Reviews

Young managers made for a fun place to work. I obtained experience and how to work as a team. I appreciated being acknowledged with an award for hard work. My coworkers and I were young, just out of high school. The hardest part of the job, was locating files for claims authorizers to work on.

Working at Social Security has allowed to grasp the great need many people have for certain social programs or information about what they need. The hardest part of the job is not being able to assist everyone. The most enjoyable is being able to make someone feel like the "government" has helped him or her.

Fast-paced; there was always some work to do and the people were very helpful.

Employee health issues were treated and referred either to the staff doctor or the employee's family doctor.

Injuries on the job were followed by OSHA regulations and progress and recovery was tracked by the clinic.

Health and safety issues were taught and discussed with the employees.

Good benefits and good environment.
The culture of the job was to help one another so we could all strive as an organization

A typical day at work was relaxed and very productive. Everyone spoke to each other and were friendly. I learned a lot of desk work activities and mailroom operations. My management was great. Very friendly and well organized. My co-workers were wise in their profession and were very helpful. There was nothing to hard about the job and I enjoyed most – more... of the work that I did. – less

Good staff who work together. Learned a lot about office procedures.

I mostly interviewed callers via telephone or face-to-face to determine the nature of call or office visit. Then proceeded to assist whether to resolve issue and/or give out agency information. Learned agency goals and objectives to try and promote quality services. Management of time and computer tools were essential to provide faster services. Co-workers – more... were friendly and willing to work as a team. Hardest part of job was keeping up with back logs due to time constraints. Most enjoyable part of the job is knowing I was able to do the best I could in the time I was at work. – less

Got to help many unfortunate people. I recently applied for vacancies at several SSA field offices located close to my home near/in Port Richey, FL using SSA’s IVOL (Internal Vacancies on-Line) process, but was not considered/selected. In regard to the most recent application I submitted for a CR position at the New Port Richey, FL field office (the – more... office closest to my home), I still have not been notified of a selection being made for that position/s. However, through other sources, have found out that the openings were, in fact, already filled. This is not a very good way of conducting business with current employees who already work for the Agency (or with anyone for that matter). – less

I was a Public Service worker. I issued Social Security checks to the public.

Daily compiled and filed customer files and mail received for customer folders.

Process claimant requests.
Company has very diverse claimants that walk through the door.
Unusual management styles. . .
Hire very similar people with similar backgrounds.
Training program is long and extensive.
Helping those who cannot help themselves.

Benifits Retirement. From working in Electronic,
In the rest of the Associated job.

I have never seen so much waste and corruption in one place as I had seen at SSA. Management is more concerned about getting to the top and making more money, than actually helping the public. Avoid this place if possible.

It was a very busy place, you had to manage your time wisely. There was also a friendly atmosphere.
