Pros
Exposure to different people and industries
Cons
Working at the El Paso Branch was horrible and full of microaggressions. The place was so hostile that the cleaners picked up dirty particles and left it on the table because they didn't want to clean up after "certain types" of people. Do not waste your time working at such a racist organization.

Pros
good-competitive benefits, onsite gym, free employee parking, nice cafeteria with good variety of food
Cons
Very toxic management. Too concerned with meeting diversity quotas, and you had to either be black or Hispanic to be considered for promotions or retention. If you didn't fit their ideals or their norm, then you were never really accepted. You truly need to drink the Fed Kool-Aid and settle to survive there.

Pros
Most people are kind and supportive Intellectual environment where you are constantly challenged to think Overall collaborative environment Good salary and benefits Generally good hours
Cons
Research department prioritizes citations over normal human behavior, which means economists with 20k+ citations get a green light to run over other economists and research analysts with no repercussions If you say anything, leadership ignores you or explains it away by qualifying unacceptable behavior as normal in the profession, leading to toxic environment (and attrition) in some groups. They do this because if they lose high citation individuals, it impacts the research ranking of the institution.
