Reviews about Pay & Benefits for Social Worker in US Department of Veterans Affairs

Would Not Recommend Overall

The benefits and pay are great but that's about it. This VA only cares about Nurses and all of the other disciplines get forgotten. As a Social Worker , there is a lack of support and you're forced to "figure it out". I am thankful for the opportunity to work here but the politics and nepotism can make it difficult . It's hard not to become resentful when your profession is forgotten about.

Safe job low fulfillment

Good work environment, but there are surprises that just change your day to day. Management keeps leaving and then you get tasked with their responsibilities

Pros

Good pay

Cons

Too much retirement income deducted from your check
