Department of Veterans Affairs

The reason did not make a career of this job is, I was not given credit for Saudi Arabia. This would have given me time towards retirement. Veteran were given time for serving Iraq and the way I look at this is, serving in the military during war time conflict is the same regardless of the location.

I've worked here short handed and over staffed more short handed but I love my residents and we have a great work family

Working at the VA hospital was my dream job took me three years to be pick interview got the job. Very easy and smooth process. I enjoy the benefits the pay could’ve been better at starting but once you’re in and you start to level up I’m a 1234 etc. things start to change do your job smile come on time work as much overtime as they’ll allow you if you see something is not right pretend that she did not see it the whistleblower rule does not apply to anyone can you tail you’re gone....

became politically involved, they tried to make me resign, but I refused, I did nothing wrong. After COVID slowed down, I became a target of management because I was the Union President. I saw many wrong doings by them and vocalized my opinions. Therefore, I became a target because I fought for nurses being wrote up because they were told what to chart, with holding information, on truths.

Management has too many personal agendas and they work in the background doing unprofessional things that lead to this type of environment.

I worked under a Contract for the Bowen Group. My experience was great. Learned a lot. HR department is excellent. My team was great together. My Supervisor was excellent. Their was a few other Supervisors who were not so accommodating. Overall great work place to work.

VBA puts production over getting the veterans claims right the first time. And when you rush and make a mistake, they hold you accountable. I worked there for 15 years and there were constant changes almost weekly! And if you're the type of person that doesn't handle constant changes, then I recommend you keep looking. Awesome pay, but it will wreck your home life and challenge your integrity.

The Chief and Assistant Chief that I worked for were very professional and pro officer. Like any department there were excellent officers as well as some who only did a minimum to get by. I enjoyed most of my time working there. Great position for starting a police career or for older officers wanting to continue their career after retiring from another police department.

As a federal employee it's comforting to know that you have both a future and security with the Veterans Affairs

Immediate supervisor created a hostile work environment amongst employees and uses intimidation. I was addressed by lead as "Chica" and when I reported it, I was fired. No-one cares to fix the problem. Co-workers would leave patients sitting in waiting room for hours. The worst place I have ever worked.
