The White House

I would not recommend working at this company based on my personal experience. The work environment was stressful and disorganized, and employees often felt undervalued. Management lacked clear communication and consistency, which made it difficult to do the job effectively. Concerns raised by employees were rarely addressed, and there was little support when problems came up. Scheduling could be unpredictable, making it hard to maintain a healthy work-life balance. There were few opportunities for growth or advancement, and hard work did not seem to be recognized or rewarded. Employee morale was generally low because of the lack of appreciation and poor leadership. While every workplace has challenges, I expected a more professional and respectful environment. My experience ultimately led me to seek employment elsewhere where employees are treated fairly, communication is stronger, and management is more supportive. Based on my experience, I would not choose to work there again.

Career office staffed by what is best described as "accidental employees" promoted from within with very little if any management skill or training. Allows for undeserved career staff to simply show up to work (sometimes) and keep their Gov's salary and retire when they are ready, not when they should be replaced for horrendous performance.

The best part of hte job was seeing your event come to life after a 6 or 7 day advance. It was a huge responsiblity to always be on your top game but one that had its benefits. It was a pleaseure to be able to train staff to do the job and to watch them progress over time.

The hardest part of the job was the constant travel and the high intensity.

The WH hired me to help deal w/ a crisis.  So, yes, I put in some 100-hour weeks.  But the work was important, and I was good at it.  This doesn't compare w/most crunch jobs.  It was a nat'l emergency and people were dying.  The USG had little credibility at home or abroad.  My task was to establish cred, by making sure everything we put out was truthful.

I was a contract employee. After one contract extension, it expired. I truly enjoyed my job as a Personnel Security Officer. My main function was to do Adjudication, filing, sorting, on and off-boarding, Issuing ID- Badges and Photographing employees. The job was extremely satisfying.

I had the unique opportunity to work as a White House Intern for the White House in Washington DC under President Reagan. The experience was like no other; a once in a lifetime opportunity. I loved every aspect of this job although it was unpaid! It was wonderful, historical -- I hated when the internship ended.
