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.

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.

Pros

Great clearance opportunity: Sponsored for a TS-SCI—valuable if you didn’t have one previously. Flexible start: Allowed to begin on Secret-level work while waiting for TS-SCI to process. Collaborative environment: Solid working relationships with other FSA contractor co-workers.

Cons

Low pay: Compensation was on the lower end for DC-area TS-SCI cleared positions. Poor leave accrual: No upfront vacation/sick leave; only 1.25 hrs sick + 2 hrs annual leave per pay period. Restrictive advanced leave: Up to 40 hours allowed, but must be repaid if leaving before a year.
