Yes No. Good pay and benefits. Indeed Featured review The most useful review selected by Indeed. Usually good people to work with. Flex time and work from home are a good benefit. As without if not all government jobs the pay and benefits are great. Pros Flex time. Cons Managers. Was this review helpful? Report Share. Federal job with a ceiling. It's a great steady job especially for recent graduates.
The only problem is you might stigmatize yourself in the eyes of the private sector. Management didn't hover around. Most staff where pleasant. You have an opportunity to learn and grow and move up after working a year. You can transfer to another federal agency, for another job. You can work in another department temporarily to learn another skill. They had nice holiday parties and chilli cook off.
GSA is a wonderful agency to work with! I was a GSA Contractor for the past 20 years. I loved working with this administration. I enjoyed the work, the challenges and the people. The outcome is a joint venture between the contractor and GSA to meet a common goal. To provide to them what they need and when they need it!
I have been with GSA for 5 years and seen less qualified people get promoted. The promotion process demoralizes hard workers from wanting to continue. Pros Work hours are good. Cons Favoritism. Do you enjoy working at your company? You are just a number and policy and procedures only exist if it works for GSA at the time. Contract support is inconsistent with feedback and the customer is right even when wrong.
Tenants will treat you bad because you are a GSA employee. GSA is not well like because of poor tenant support. Pros Independent. Cons No support when needed. Those who have served in leadership roles have been more focused on management and not leadership.
They do not demonstrate their value for the staff to innovate. The leadership is too concerned with being known and heard to promote the voices of those on their staff with the knowledge and experience to best address at meetings and in public the concerns, issues, and even successes of the agency. Pros work-life balance. Cons lack of real leaders. Yes There are 1 helpful reviews 1 No. Great place to work and the team work was very good. Great position to independent as well.
I had no issues and working relationship with management was very good. Pros Telework. The concrete parking lot is striped for 26 parking spaces and the entry is flanked by limestone gate posts at the east and west drives. It appears as one largely singular planar mass with a fifth-floor setback of some two feet, typical of all elevations.
Two sixth-floor penthouse structures are also present. The east and west elevations are smaller versions of this elevation, except for this elevation's greater length and central entry. Following the traditional Beaux Arts principles, the Courthouse plan is symmetrical.
Access to the centrally-located three sets of double bronze and glass doors is gained by wide gray granite stairs. Each doorway is flanked by Deco-stylized metal and glass lanterns, duplicated at the east and west elevations. Each entry pair of doors is topped by an overlight with aluminum grille work in a ziggurat pattern. The first floor has four sets of windows on each side of the entry door with decorative aluminum metal grillework at the mullion.
At the second through fourth floors, there is a slightly recessed center window bay in which 11 paired windows are present at each of the three levels. These windows are both stacked in elevation and angled out at the center mullion in plan.
Each window stack is accentuated by incised narrow metal vertical trim in Hopi Indian design to three-story height and decorative metal spandrels. The fifth floor has 13 pairs of windows. As further accents, at the second story, there are two balconies, semi-circular in plan, with decorative metal railings, a corbelled limestone support, and doors which match other fenestration in style and embellishment. There is excellent contrast between the starved classicism represented by the simple massing, and the finely detailed ornamental metal work elements representative of the design motifs of Central and North American native tribes.
The west and east elevations are mirror images of each other. They are smaller versions of the north elevation and differ from it only in the following aspects. The entry door is at the corner adjacent to the north elevation and is a single set of double bronze doors. The first floor has four pairs of windows. The center recessed window bay has three window stacks. Above the balconies at the second, third, and fourth floors, there is a pair of windows with similar grillework as the balcony doors.
The fifth floor has five pairs of windows. Changes from the original plans include, on the east elevation, the replacement of original bronze doors by aluminum doors and replacement of one window by a full-height mechanical system metal louver. The south rear elevation faces onto the parking lot and loading dock areas of the south side of the site and the commercial parking lot of the adjacent site.
This elevation appears as a large mass with three stepbacks in plane: two light wells are set back at the fourth floor continuing to the roof and divide these two floors into three projecting masses and two recedent light well spaces; there is a setback of approximately one foot at the second floor in vertical alignment with the light wells; and the entire fifth floor is stepped back approximately two feet across the entire elevation. The fenestration is less ornate than on the other elevations with the following characteristics: simpler mullions, windows in parallel plane with the walls, no adjacent ornamental metal work trim, no decorated metal spandrels, and no grand entrances.
The decorative stonework of the other elevations is continued on this elevation with fluted stonework between the fifth floor windows, on the wall of the fifth floor center bay where there are no windows, and as a band at the stepback between the fourth and fifth floors. A decoratively carved limestone medallion depicting an American eagle with shield is located at the fourth floor level at midpoint of the center bay.
The postal loading dock canopy is largely original, providing a strong feature at the first floor level. In sum, this elevation is less ornate in its fenestration than the other elevations, but more impactful in its massing. The second floor had the District Courtroom, US Attorney and Marshal offices, federal court reporter, and other support spaces.
The third floor housed the petit jury room, bankruptcy referee, grand jury room, probation officer, meat inspection division of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture, Internal Revenue Service agents, alcohol tax unit of the IRS and Post Office inspector.
The fourth floor had the US Circuit Court of Appeals, offices for five judges, robing room for appellate court judges, grain inspection division of the Department of Agriculture, county agent, county home demonstration agent, US Navy Recruiting Office, and IRS collectors. The sixth floor west penthouse was a weather observatory. The first floor is occupied by the US Bankruptcy courts and their associated support spaces. The sixth floor penthouse is assigned but unused.
The following description is of the historic interiors at the time of construction. The basement, which was primarily storage space, had terrazzo floors in the men's swing room dressing room , men's locker room, men's and women's janitor toilets; ceramic tile in the men's employee toilet and small toilet near the west vestibule; and concrete floors in all other areas. There was marble base in the men's swing and locker rooms.
The walls were primarily plaster or concrete, except in the restrooms where they were ceramic tile, and brick in the fuel storage, boiler, US Marshal's storage, and Probation storage rooms. The men's employee toilet had Fossil Gray marble wainscot and stalls. The ceilings were either plaster or unfinished. There were marble walls with aluminum grilles for the postal bays along the south side of the main postal lobby. The north elevation of the postal lobby had eight aluminum and glass windows, aluminum grilles below, marble wainscot, and the plaster above the ornamental bands the same as the elevator lobby in the public lobby areas.
The bands continue up the wall to the ceiling at a 3-foot on-center repeat pattern. The vestibules at the east and west entrances have terrazzo floors with brass divider strips with marble border. The walls are marble with a decorative plaster ceiling.
The entry doors were bronze and glass with aluminum and glass panels above the doors. The postal workroom and office areas had maple end grain block wood floors, plaster walls, and plaster ceilings. The second floor was devoted to the US District Court and associated support spaces. The terrazzo corridor floor had a chevron pattern with marble base and wainscot, plaster walls, marble soffits and pilasters, and a decorative plaster ceiling at the courtroom entrance.
The corridor contained an exquisitely sculpted marble drinking fountain. The US District Courtroom had rubber tile floor, inlaid wood wall panels, marble base, leather-covered entry doors, and decorative plaster ceiling. The railing was oak inlaid wood with a marble base. The library had a rubber tile floor, oak paneled walls and shelving, and a decorative plaster ceiling with continuous ornamental perimeter banding.
The judge's chambers had the same detailing with marble base. The offices along the north and south elevation had either oak or rubber tile floors, primarily oak bases, plaster walls and ceilings.
