[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem I had when I worked at the Board is the lack of consistency with management. For example, the cases per week changes constantly. Every year you had to worry about it changing. Like, figure it out! I hear there’s no longer an issue track. I also hear there are no incentive programs and overtime no longer exists. One thing I can say about the private sector is that incentive programs typically stay constant at firms, and you have a good understanding of your work load — even if it is a lot — but you’re at least rewarded for having to work hard or to work unpaid overtime with bonuses. Telling the workforce good job for the prior year when they were the engine who overshot your goal and then responding by increasing their workload without any incentives for succeeding under those challenging circumstances (in this economy) is just diabolical and a sign of leadership who doesn’t care. If they can hire, stay away. At least with doc review, you won’t be forced to work unpaid overtime or at least be paid it if it’s authorized.[/quote]

Management can get away with being terrible because they know that most BVA attorneys do not have good exit options. Sure, there’s work in the private sector for BVA attorneys. However, these jobs pay much less than BVA. That’s probably why BVA attorneys suck it up and keep their heads down.[/quote]
