[quote=Anonymous]OMHA has the best quality of life - workload is reasonable  and can be completed within a regular 40 hour work week.

SSA is a far second - work can be completed within a 40 hour week, but there's significantly more pressure to produce, and you have to account for your time. Work environment varies, depending on your office. Some offices are downright terrible, while others are okay.

BVA is the worst of the three and arguably the worst or one of the worst jobs for an attorney in the D.C. area. Workload is not reasonable and generally requires attorneys to work more than 40 hours a week. Some judges allow attorneys to shortcuts, such as not reviewing evidence that a  claimant submitted. The attorneys who are assigned to these judges have an easier time completing work without having to do unpaid overtime. The quota is not the worst part of the job - the worst part is that management routinely fires anyone who complains about mistreatment or harassment. If you get assigned to a toxic judge, think twice before complaining.[/quote]
