Pros

Very flexible with leave and credit hours. Flextime adds a great deal of convenience. Flexiplace, when you finally get it, is very nice.

Cons

Max of 2 days off per year for CLEs. Will not pay for or reimburse attorneys for CLEs. Starts attorneys at a lower pay grade than most other agencies. Career ladder ends lower than most agencies. Competitive promotion opportunities are few within OAO itself.
