I know what to expect every other Friday. :)

I like that I don't have to contribute any funds to my benefits in order to have the most basic package.

Posted 17 days ago

The benefits overall are ok but could be better as it relates to offering more benefits at a lower cost.

The idea of annual raises contingent on performance evaluations

Dental coverage is good, and health insurance has been a seamless process so far.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Paid at the GS-9 to GS-11 level, with years of past experience, when similar government positions in my office start at GS-12 and include substantially more annual and sick leave.

it is not your fault. It is just the position. Not big deal

Posted 11 days ago

I know that the work I'm doing could be compensated at a higher rate but the contract structure prevents that from happening

Posted 11 days ago

The raises are extremely insignificant or non existent. Our benefits get worse every year and cost more. You essentially are making less every year instead of more.

Posted 16 days ago

I feel I'm not being train correctly, my manager/supervisor just tell me what I need to do to do the basic daily things but doesn't explain why or how we do things or how to search for things. Not sure if it's a control thing on her part.

I have received exceeds expectations on my assessments and our district was ranked number one for our size in Asset Forfeiture in the country and FSA was made aware of this accomplishment, but I have not received a baseline or merit increase for 2 years. Sure makes me feel undervalued by FSA.

With the expense of medical a higher hourly rate would be helpful

Posted 17 days ago

We come to work, do our work, and management shows very little gratitude. We get more attitude thsn gratitude. More push back for why we can't get raises anx things rather than advocating for us. Lack of empathy or compassion from management.

Posted 17 days ago

I think that this question should be rated on a scale of 1-10 rather than yes/no. Nonetheless, Asset Forfeiture is an incredibly niche line of work, I know that I am one of the few people in my state that has it. I'm not saying that I command far greater compensation, just that a few percent greater

Posted 17 days ago

With the cost of living increase, an increase in pay that's within reason would be greatly appreciated.

Posted 17 days ago

I feel undervalued because there is no consistent opportunity for salary increases, even when employees receive strong performance evaluations and consistently meet or exceed expectations. Positive evaluations acknowledge our hard work and contributions, but without meaningful compensation

Posted 17 days ago

Contract cap is too low for the type of work and listed qualifications.

Posted 17 days ago

I have done research on other positions that are similar to mine, and they start out at $100k. I have 5 years of experience as a supervisor and even though I have earned praise and a raise in the last year, I still feel as if I could earn more.

There has been no bonuses offered the last 2 years. No raise of any kind, including a cost of living increase. We're only offered 2 weeks vacation, which is poor, but yet also forced to take that time when the office closes early or shuts down.

I don't feel undervalued necessarily, just underpaid. My wage is below the average for my profession and below average comparing it to a similar federal position.

While I value the compensation overall, I sometimes feel the role expectations expand in practice beyond what is reflected in pay structure. The work often involves urgent, time-sensitive problem-solving and availability outside standard hours, which can feel like it exceeds the baseline scope.

Either better compensation. If you live in Maryland or Virginia, you should be paid as much as a person in DC. If that cannot happen, then other benefits like wellness hours could be offered.

I feel like the compensation could possibly be increased in accordance to how inflation has become a thing within the last year.

i have been with the company since it started and in my position for almost 3 decades, my pay increases do not reflect the amount of years i work here, or the amount of work I do. Additionally the company does not give any incentives after 15 years to stay. Vacation max's out at 5 weeks after 15yrs.

Compensation seems to be based on popularity not just work product, volume of work and dedication to the company. Imbalance of bonus structures and annual raises.
