Thank your for the positive rating! FSA culture emphasizes putting people first and our team works hard to build a benefits package that exceeds industry standard. As a government contractor, career advancement, pay, and work schedules are limited to the positions and locations our customers order; however, FSA provides a variety of professional development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement and training, and, since we understand the importance of wages, does increase pay for employees whenever possible. Please email us at qc@fsafederal.com with any suggestions you may have to make FSA an even better place to work.

Thank you for the great review! We love the list you provided under pros. The one we're most excited about is "opportunities for continued learning" as we've been working hard to provide employees with a variety of professional development options. Pay is set according to our contracts and the Department of Labor; however, we understand the importance of wages and do increase pay for employees whenever possible. If you have any suggestions on how we might improve, please reach out to your FSA Senior Manager.

Pros

Good job for someone just out of college to get experience with the federal government and law enforcement. There are no incentives to stay long term & make it a career - no pay raises, no promotions, etc. But good for the resume and to get a foot in the door for federal positions. Also, position is good for retired law enforcement who are collecting their pension etc. but want to stay busy. The culture of the job is highly dependent on what agency you’re contracting for - DEA, FBI, ATF, USAO, etc. - & that specific office.

Cons

No pay raises. No promotions. Sub-par benefits.

Thank you for sharing your perspective! We agree FSA can be a great springboard whether you’re early in your career or a retired law enforcement professional looking to stay engaged with meaningful work. As a government contractor, career advancement and pay are limited to the positions and locations our customers order; however, FSA provides a variety of professional development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement and training, and we work to increase pay whenever possible. If you have suggestions for improvement, we’d love to hear them; please email us at qc@fsafederal.com.
