A great deal learned in a very small time period
Benefit Authorizer (Former Employee), Jamaica, NY – August 28, 2012
Pros: great team environment
The training was done classroom style, complete with exams, which enabled me to grasp the aspects of the job quickly. It also helped that the federal government has an acronym for almost everything (example: Full Retirement Age = FRA). The managers, in addition to the other employees, were very helpful in answering any questions I had.

Very huge Company.
Benefits Technical Examiner (Current Employee), Woodlawn, MD – August 27, 2012
Pros: room for advancement
Cons: it takes a long time to advance.
A typical day at work consists of data entry. I learn new systems and methods everyday. Management can stand a refresher course in effective management. My co-workers are great people for the most part. The hardest part of the job is understanding the system that's needed to get the job done. The most enjoyable part of the job is lunch time.

'Social Security Administration Management Staff does not provide their workers with support toward career advancement or other job locations.
Social Insurance Specialist (Current Employee), Falls Church, VA – August 22, 2012
Pros: telework, overtime, comp time, and service to the public
Cons: limited opportunity for career advancement
I enjoyed my job as I was able to provide service to the public and ease their concerns on the status of their claims at the Appeals Council. Some days were stressful based on work requirements, but that comes with the territory. How you manage your stress is the key to having a good day at work. Most of my co-workers were great and those that weren't, – more... I always did my best to keep a positive attitude in keeping the peace. I learned how to get along with everyone by understanding that each person come from various backgrounds, so take a little time to get to know them before forming an opinion or casting judgement. Management was not that great because they didn't look out for their employees or keep them informed of changes that could affect their daily workloads. – less

I love the freedom of being my own boss and being able to come and go as I pleased because that better suited my schedule at the time. The drawbacks of the job were that you have no benefits and you are only paid monthly.

Its like highschool kids instead of grown ups – less
