Compare US Department of Veterans Affairs vs Australian Department of Veterans’ Affairs

Pros

I came from the private sector where it is all about fattening someone's pockets while you work work work. I'll never go back to that. This job is fulfilling because you get to help our nation's... hero's. Nothing can compete with this vacation policy, I have more time off than I'll ever use. If you enjoy helping others and not helping your CEO get his 4th vacation home, you'll like this place. Oh and the insurance and retirement are outstanding.

Cons

It is true about what you hear about Government employees. Just don't fall into that loop and you'll be happy. Don't let other peoples' negativity get you down, because when you look at these... Veterans and realize what they went through, the piddly arguing goes out the window.

Pros

New leadership, purpose driven, good salary, flexible, not hierarchical, senior leadership keen to listen and innovate. Opportunity to re-shape the culture and continuing to evolve. Excellent... flexible work opportunities.

Cons

Relic public servants, resistant to change, focussed on how they have always done things, not future focussed and a large proportion lack agility and accountability. This can be exhausting and... dehumanising. Accomodation is ordinary to say the least.
